What is a balikbayan privilege?
  • A balikbayan privilege entitles its holder to stay in the Philippines for a maximum of one year without visa. Spouses and unmarried children below 18 years of age of Filipino/former Filipino nationals may avail themselves of this privilege if they travel to the Philippines with their Filipino/former Filipino spouses or parent/s.

So you can stay for a year, but your wife has to be with you arrive at immigration and ask for it.
