If you're planning to fly out in December it will cost you double going any other time! I'm going for 6 weeks but from November to January, that way avoiding the December price hike.
You can book flights easily online but if you don't have a debit or credit card you'd better book at an agent. The first time I used "Flight Centre". There's loads in London and elsewhere. You can pay cash or cheque there if you'd rather. In fact they charge a surcharge on credit card payments.
Don't take too much notice of the limit on pesos. Best to change up a load before you go; you'll find it difficult getting more while you're there unless you've got an ATM card, preferably Mastercard. I found Visa machines quite rare in Cebu. Don't forget to get low denomination notes. Many stores/ taxis won't take a P1000 note even though it's only a tenner to you.
You can indeed extend your visa when you arrive. The embassy official told me that at the Hounslow festival. I'm having to do that. I've not found out how yet though. I'm guessing you can do it at immigration control at the airport.
So, good luck with your trip.
