To use the Balikbayan privilege and get a visa free one year stay within the Philippines, you need to arrive both at immigration, have your both passports presented and a Philippines NSO sepca copy of your Marriage certificate (have to be presented if they ask for), and request politely the immigration officer the Balikbayan privilege.
