Hi, you may enter under the Balikbayan visa-free privilege. I entered with my wife a couple years ago when we went back to the Philippines from Hong Kong and I received the Balikbayan stamp in my passport at the immigration booth at the airport, it is good for a 1 year stay. There is no charge to avail of this privilege. Below I have copied the rules for that option.

**Former Filipino nationals and their family members traveling together to visit the Philippines and planning to stay for more than 21 days may enter the Philippines without visas through the Balikbayan visa-free privilege. They may visit the Philippines several times (multiple entry) within a year or they may stay in the Philippines for a maximum of one (1) year.

Former Filipino nationals who wish to avail of the program must present proof of former Philippine citizenship such as old Philippine passport or Philippine birth certificate upon arrival at any Philippine Port of Entry. In cases that their spouses and minor children travel together with them, they must present marriage certificates (for the spouses) and birth certificates (for the minor children) to establish their claimed legal ties with the accompanying family members.**

Enjoy your visit

Hi there:)You can stay up to 1 year through the balikbayan program.Just carry your old philippine passport or birth certificate with you and have them ready when you reach the immigration area.No need to pay extra its only 35 days vacation.
