Is it better to obtain a college degree from an american college than a filipino college?
Would a native filipino have an advantage for more opportunities if they have an american college degree?
For example, my wife have one daughter a few years ago before she met me. If I send her to an american college for her studies in the future, would that open up many doors for a big salary.

Big P, the big advantage if you graduated from another country is you can get a job easier on that country. It means greater salary compared to the Philippines. Compare it to a person who just migrated, he/she would find it hard to get a job of his/her expertise because most companies will look for a 'local experience'. Unless the job requirement is on the 'skills shortage' list.
Good for some company personnel who is knowledgeable of the quality of education in the Philippines, they would hire immediately the person who graduated from the Philippines. Why? It is common knowledge that the Philippines has a good curriculum for almost all of the courses.
Cheers.

its nice that your thinking about how to give the best education for her. Try asking first what course or degree she likes to take up in college. With that in mind, then you can make an assessment to the type of work she will pursue or might be able to pursue with the course she is determined to take up.
If the job will pertain to working with Filipinos in a Philippine setting, then its better and suitable that she learns in a filipino environment. But if she prefers to take on an international degree, then let her have an american based education.
If salary is what your after, that she will be able to use her education to the greatest advantage, try making an observation of the trends in career, particularly among women.
What is important is that she will learn what needs to be learned, be given adequate exposure, and that the school offers limitless opportunities for skill enhancement.

There are more than 60 Philippine Universities and Colleges that are competitive, recognized and accredited by international accreditation boards.
Work experience and outstanding skills, I believe, have more weight when it comes to job opportunities and salary considerations. But, of course, the school is also a feather on the cap.
Top Universities where you can send your wife:
Ateneo de Manila University Multi-Disciplinary (Rank in Asia: 72; Global Rank: 484)
De La Salle University Multi-Disciplinary (Rank in Asia: 71; Global Rank: 392)
University of Santo Tomas Multi-Disciplinary (Rank in Asia: 74; Global Rank: 500)
University of the Philippines Multi-Disciplinary (Rank in Asia: 48; Global Rank: 299)

definitely american college! other countries' college degrees are not equivalent to US/american college degree... if she was to find a job in the US afterwards, her education is not a value. prefer american/us college!!!

that depends, if you study nursing in the Philippines you can get a good job in america, but if you study to be a doctor in the Philippines you will never be a doctor in america, although you can retrain to be a nurse, and still have a very good job.
If your child has an American collage education, he/she can get a good job in america as well as in the Philippines.

i'd say so. American colleges like diversity, and I think she should take advantage of it!
