You can apply for a retirement 'visa' for approx p22000 after you have lived in Philippines for two years.

No need to go the retirement visa route as that is really only used by single men and women of a certain age..
Far better to apply for a 13a residence visa for those with a a Filipino spouse..
As Swayze wont be here in the R.P for much more than a year his best bet is to avail of the BB privilege IMO.
