This is wrong. You get 21 days when you come in.
The first extension is to 60 days total it costs approx $60 for this
When that date hits you can extend for another 60 days that costs around $120
Every 60 days you can renew your visa for $120 (5000php).
You can only stay here for 1.5 years. But they don't care if you leave and come back . So in essence you can stay forever.
One tip-If you overshoot your visa don't be worried when immigration are telling you that you are blacklisted and are going to be deported. It basically means you have to pay a $25 fine and then you are fine.
For anyone enquiring about Visas. In the Philippines you can come from almost any country and stay 1.5 years without having to do any ****ty border runs. You also get to mingle with sexy girls.
