Wow, so much happened since I was on, amazing... It's great advice and people will go through the process differently. I usually recommend the trifecta of certs, degree, experience. I'm pretty much on board with the advice, including what davewill mentioned... Here's my suggestion.
1) Coursera $1 USD/first month to get some of the Coursera/ACE credits and for the Certs - $1 US
2) Sophia.org, to get some credits to use towards a TESU BACS/BS-CIS combo - $79 US/first month
3) Complete the Metropolia credits at 579 euro for 3 years worth of IT credits - roughly $600 US
4) Complete ENEB MBA & Masters Big Data (or something of your choice) for transfer credits - roughly $300USD
5) Transfer those credits towards the TESU dual degree and pay the flat rate tuition for 15 credits - $4299
In total, you will be at roughly $5300 and you will have certs, multiple degrees (TESU 2 associates/2 bachelors), and your experience pat down.
I would also add a 6th, UMPI MAOL, depending if you want to ladder up to AMA University DBA/DIT or something later.
Each of these doctoral programs are just 2.5 years long, you can probably do both at the same time with exception (I am looking to do this)
The cost for each is just $5K USD, so for $10K and 2.5 years, you get a double Doctorate from the Philippines!
