I'm a US citizen and will be departing from Manila terminal 3, with my Filipino wife and daughter.  Which immigration line do we queue, foreign or Philippine? I don't want to separate from them in the airport. 

I left with my wife and 2 children a few years ago. I didn't really even think about that stuff. They told us where to go and what to do. We were never separated. It was like they had done this before. ;)

They will show you where to go, I am USA citizen as well and my Filipina wife and USA/philippine passport daughter usually get shown the Philippine immigration line for family. No issues.

I have formally been yelled at by a Filipino immigration officer for going through the Filipino line with my wife.  We were very affirmatively sent away to the back of the foreigner line. I suspect we just encountered a BI agent with a bad attitude and we probably would have been wrong no matter what we did. But at least for us, it seemed to set a president that we should use the foreigner line together so that's what we have done since with no further issues.  Your mileage may vary.
