There is a new 6 month tourist visa available which was introduced in June of this year.

You can only apply for this extension once you are already in the Philippines and not in another country. It is also only available at the main Bureau of Immigration offices in Manila. In time it may be available at district offices throughout the Philippines.

The cost is around 13,000php pesos. Roughly the same price as extending every 59 days over the same period of time. The advantages are it would save you having to go there every 2 months.

The official BI website here in the Philippines is not always updated!

The Philippine embassies website in Thailand seems more up to date.
