If you could search for a state that offers free studies for your grades 8 & 9 you'll be fine. May nabasa ko dati from FB forum that there are certain states that offer that. Otherwise, they are also considered as an international student and the fees are extremely high and not really recommended. I have friends holding SV who left their partner/children in Ph. They have to do necessary sacrifices until they got the graduate visa.
