The German buerocracy for marrying a non-european foreigner is VERY complicated.
A friend of mine (wanting to marry a Singaporean) needed 6 months and EUR3000 (mostly for translations/certifications) to complete the necessary paperwork.
I married my (also Singaporean) wife abroad and had much less problems.
So I can only recommend you to marry in your home country. Getting a foreign marriage accepted is MUCH easier and you can then easily get a visa and work permit.

Thanks for the info, Beppi
wow! 6 mos and 3k euro! too much and too long
We do plan to get married first, somewhere in Asia in February, we are still looking

i suggest that u do marry in philippines better than abroad like hongkong. next step u had to study at goethe institute in makati for A1 , while studying u can apply for the visa.
