British English needed in the Philippines???

I hope to move (back) to Manila in the future and offer English tuition to Filipino teenagers preparing either for college/university or entering the business world/ a career. The thing is that I'm English, so my 'version' of English is British rather than American. My question is: Is British English relevant in Manila? (Or would it be better to start training myself in American English?!)
