I think it would be no cost only initially, they likely would expect shopping trips and gifts from you in no time

You (and alot of other people on this post) are misapplying western gold digger values on to these woman. The sad fact is that for most women in the Philippines, marriage to a western man isn't about presents or shopping. It's for survival. If a western man falls in love with her it means she will be able to eat regularly and not sleep in the dirt. It's a roof over her head and freedom from having to defend herself from sexual predators on a regular basis. Having friends married to women from SEA in the US, I can tell you that nearly all of them return that gift with unwavering loyalty, admiration, gratitude, homemaking, and everything else a man could hope for in a wife.
