Well I understand having a ceremony ... but can you legally have 2 binding contracts of marriage in 2 countries?

I guess I wouldn't see why you couldn't I guess ...

Your legal marriage in the US is recognized in the philippines as well, but you have to register it. It may be an issue if you have two independant legal marrages even though it's to the same person, and while the goal is never to get married and have a divorce... sounds like two seperate marriages would make for twice as nasty a divorce, especially considering the rules of divorce in the philippines are different....

Get married in america, register the marriage with NSO (possibly through the philippines embassy in the US?) and then go back after your fiance(e) has at least AP and have a religious ceremony that wouldn't be legally binding.

Or Matrimony! We had to get a civil wedding because the Church wouldn't perform ours within the 90 day time frame. So, when we go back for a visit, we might just take the Sacrament then, to be "Married in the eyes of the Church," and stop living in sin! hehe! For the kids, hehe!
