a late 90s toyota corolla gli, or an EFI sentra of the same vintage.
good build quality, reliable and durable, plentiful good-quality parts.

+1 for the big body GLi

I'd definitely go with the Corolla GLI. Easier to maintain, abundant spare parts and efficient too. Next pick would be the Sentra, followed by the Lancer itlog and last is the Cefiro. Though the Cefiro tops in the performance category, I would say it may be your last choice since your purpose is a second car, which of course would be something efficient and easier to maintain.
Some classified sites for you to search: Olx, Tsikot, Carmudi, Philkotse, Autodeal. If you have any doubt about these sites then you can check it by yourself.

Does it necessarily have to be a Toyota? Ang Toyota kasi mataas ang resale value, so medyo luma narin ang makukuha mo. The Corolla GLi is a good choice but you can get a much newer and more loaded N16 Exalta for the same price.

If you're the type who likes to tinker, might I tempt you with the Hiace Super Custom. You get king sized seating for 8, the same 3.0 turbo diesel found in the 70 and 90 series Prado along with 4x4, and readily available spare parts due to having a local counterpart with a big population. IF you get lucky with a well-converted unit, I'd consider it much more bang for the buck than the typical compact sedan.

A Toyota Vios (because it would be one of the relatively newer ones you can find close to 150K, and is efficient)

A Toyota Corona (because i always liked its EUDM appeal)

A Toyota Corolla AE92 or AE101 station wagon (if i can locate a unit)

Buying from a stranger, my vote goes to the FX...

You get the ladder frame.
Primitive suspension and powertrain/drivetrain... Easy to maintain...

Next will be the Corolla E90 or E100, I have friends who own them (first owner) and although not perfect, both are still ok.

Here are my suggestion:

#1 Corolla. You cant go wrong with a Corolla!
XL https://**************/toyota-corolla...ale-aid1241031
GLI 97 https://**************/toyota-corolla...997-aid1335741
#2 Corona.

How about other brands, po?

Thanks for the helpful advice guys!
Toyoto is always my top preference when it comes to buying used cars, no need to further explain why I guess..
Just come up with another concern, among the mentioned models, which one do you think is the most fuel-efficient?

A Vios 1.3L m/t will be the most efficient provided all are in good conditions.
