What's a good first car for a small family living in Manila?

I think it would be best if you go with a bigger car even if you only have a small family Just because you live in Manila could always mean you are prone to troubles like flood which is very inevitable and happens more than once a year. Better be safe than be stuck? Some examples can be Toyota Innova or Toyota Adventure. Heard from my friend that it's very spacious and can go distant miles if you're also thinking about an out of town trip to have bonding. But it would really be up to you as of course there would still be things to factor in when purchasing a car like your budget, your brand preference etc.
