Sometimes they are awarded after a trip for example to Hong Kong for the weekend cant think why
I presume your in the Phils now having got married? I havnt read all this thread or looked up your posts but if you are and intend staying there are other options 13a for example or you can of course just keep renewing every 59 days for a year or so and then leave to hong kong return the next day and start again
