Ha.

Yes. The Bishop is my brother and knows the situation. Pickings are slim out in the desert southwest.

Any possibility of getting a good priest from Latin America?

When I lived in Atlanta, I knew a good priest from Ireland (in Atlanta) as well as a good priest from Columbia.

Getting priests from other countries is happening across the country.

I don't know if the Philippines has a surplus of priests.

Getting a Spanish speaking priest in that part of the country may be a plus. The English of such priests may be questionable.

But would one rather have a good priest with questionable English or a bad priest with good English?

There are problems with bringing priests in - work visas, and perhaps a cost factor.

Your brother may know this better than anyone.

Helping to serve the Hispanic population may be a greater need -- without knowing the exact situations...

A Spanish-speaking priest could always say Latin masses, though, and I think there are those from Latin America who like the Latin Rite.
