I will there for 26 days- will I need to get a visa as I read that the tourist visas are only for 21 days? |

Once you are in the Philippines, you can bring it to a local office and get it extended. Boracay has one for example, as does Davao, Cebu, and Manila. Probably other places, but those four for sure.
If I remember right, it takes about a day. Drop it off in the morning, and pick it up at night.
I've never done it beforehand, but the Philippines Embassy is in Itaewon, I believe...I think its a two-month visa you can get before arrival. |

The fee is about P2000 or so. That's a pretty penny for an extra 5 days.
Do NOT wear shorts to the Philippine immigtation offices. |

All government offices here in Davao and probably the rest of the philippines are going to be closed Dec 24 - Jan 1. Not sure if that includes immigration. If your visa expires within that period go to immigration office beforehand to get it renewed. |
