only several months, your stay? That doesn't buy you any consideration, alas.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

if you are married, you can get other residency permit in the PI.

The USCIS office in Manila not recognize tourist visas on USCitizens as valid proof of residency, must have a residency permit, so if you were looking to file for a CR-1 visa using Direct Consular Filing at the USCIS office in Manila, it's not enough to have a tourist visa.

OTOH, for a K-1 visa, your location not matter.

You can not do a DCF.

DCF requires legal residency. Tourist visa does not meet that standard regardless if how long you stay.

You will need to file in the US.
