Thanks for the info. I did contact the Manila field office and they gave me some general guidelines like being in the Philippines for 6 months or longer and then the link you sent. I need to travel back to the US soon for a couple weeks so I'll be reaching out to them again to see if that will cause any problems. I read that leaving and coming back may not cause issue as long as its not a move, but I'll seek clarificaiton.

 

Currently I've been in PH without leaving for longer than 6 months.

It shouldn't, but again, it's open to interpretation. When I was living in Mexico I traveled out of the country frequently for both family and work reasons. It didn't cause an issue as my primary residence was still Mexico, those trips were just short vacations. Same as if you were living in the US and traveled to Europe for a few weeks. You may not be in the country but your home still is.
