If the marriage was in the philippines or a philippine embassy abroad it falls under the philippines laws and it is register by the municipality or embassy where you where married. Then the registration of marriage is automatically forwarded to the NSO ( national census office) for registration this can take around 2 months . Once the data had been uploaded the NSO will issue an NSO certificate which you can apply for at any NSO office in the country. Now that you have secure an original NSO certificate of your marriage contract you and your wife can go to the bureau of immigration head office in manila to apply for a Permanent resident status . Bring your passport and your NSO certificate and you have to be with your wife.

If you are married to a Filipino or a filipina, and which to resident in the Philippines. All you have to do is to apply TRv, (temporary resident visa), which you have to be renewing every now and then. the duration of the visa depends on the person country. Africans are given one year and then 2years, while westerns are given five years or so.( I really don't know why is like that). Therefore, as long as you are renewing your TRV once its about to expire , you can stay in the Philippines forever.
