You don't have to leave the Philippines as long as you have a valid visa to be there. What some talk about is the travel tax, if you are there for a year or more you will have to pay a travel tax when you exit.

Your allow a stay of 30 days when you arrive at the Philippine airport. Your passport must be valid for more than 6 months and you have a forwarding airlines ticket either as a return to USA or to some other country. For a stay of more than 30 days, a traveler must apply for an appropriate visa at the Philippine Consulate General. A visa generally allows a stay of until 59 days in the Philippines. Visitors wishing to stay beyond 59 days may apply for an Extension of Stay at any office of the Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines before the authorized stay runs out. Fees for extension of stay will apply. Refer to the Bureau of immigration website for information about extending your stay in the Philippines.
