For a young girl to have a driver, you are now talking about only the rich strata, or like 170k households (less than 1% of the population). The number is likely even lower as many families that fall into this bracket won't spend that kind of money solely on their daughter's transportation.
And typical middle class Filipina girls that are looking for a long term relationship will want you to meet her friends and her family at some point, because they certainly will want to know who is dating/banging their daughter. If your experience is otherwise, either she isn't looking for a ltr that leads to marriage or anything serious, or she isn't really middle class or above.
I know people will disagree with that last statement, but sorry, she was just content with banging you for a couple of years and had nothing really serious in her mind about the two of you, which isn't such a bad outcome for you really.
OP, before you start thinking of a ltr, get your stuff together, get immigration legit and earn some money so you won't be begging on the streets. Obsessively talking about having a ltr when you are illegal and wondering if you can pay rent for the next year is silly.
