I think you need to think a hundred times before you accept your working visa in Dubai.

If you are working, your tourist visa will be limited. I don't think an employer in Dubai will give you long stay here. Tourist visa is hard to obtain as you need to show your evidence (savings,job etc.)

If you are ready to get married, there's no need to accept your working visa in Dubai. You can apply your fiance visa in Pinas as you have met personally already regardless of place.

If you are planning to marry in Pinas, that will be much better as you can apply SPOUSE visa and can apply here for a job straight away. Fiance visa will not allow you to work until you settled your next visa and marriage here. It will be months to wait.

If I am in your shoes, I would prefer to marry in Pinas and apply for spouse visa as you can also apply a job straight away.

The choice is yours now.

Goodluck !
