I have been here for almost 8 years with my last visa extention in 2014. I got my recognition phil citizen in dec 2016. 

I don't know what a Bb stamp is.

 Balikbayan stamp... the immigration agent when entering the Philippines writes BB in your passport and dates it  IF you request it.   

 

You are entering and exiting as a U.S. citizen being you don't present a Philippine passport, the BB stamp allows for a 1 year stay in the Philippines without a visa .. or issues.    You're a dual citizenship, you have your recognition certificate, but you are not entering with a Philippine passport.

 

Depending on your length of stay you could be required to pay the Travel Tax ... could.

Does that require a trip to immigration or is doable at airport? Thanks

BB stamp can ONLY be done at the airport upon entry into the Philippines, while you are in front of the immigration agent.    It is NOT a visa so can not be done at B-I
