Can I obtain the legal capacity to marry in the USA or does it have to be done in Manila? Problem is we are trying to setup a church wedding but there is a 1 month delay and I have to get back to the states for work. Any help is appreciated.

You need to check the state laws to be sure you comply--there is no single approach in the US. Just go to the state's website and you will see the requirments. Each is differnt as to waiting periods, ages, proof of former divorce, identification, witnesses, etc, etc. There is no single answer you can get here.
