If I had a P1.5M budget and could spend every last centavo of it on a car, I would go for the Hyundai Santa Fe. It's a very roomy 7-seater with all the amenities that you would need. The Kia Carnival EX CRDi is also a good choice for a family car since it comfortably seats eight (with all the nice amenities like food/drink trays etc
But since my budget is only P1M (and I'm not really willing to spend more for a car), I decided to go for the Kia Carens, which is also a 7-seater (albeit a bit tighter) and only has driver-side airbag. But it has what I feel is a very efficient 2.0L CRDi VGT engine.
