No such visa exists. She either lives there full time, or here full time. The U.S does not allow for part time residency of any kind.

May be best to immigrate, obtain Citizenship and then she can do what she wants.

That’s not gonna last long. Each entry after the first is going to raise flags as the person would be practically using B2 to live in the US.

She could apply for a B2 tourist/pleasure visa. Philippines nationals can be issued a 10-year multiple entry visa if they can demonstrate non-immigrant intent.

Using a tourist visa to essentially live here, is visa fraud.

Problem #1- Obtaining said visa.  This will not be easy for a single PI lady.

Problem #2- Each entry is at the discretion of CBP.  ANY suspicion of abuse can result in severe penalties and a bar.

Classic case of DOA visa application, imho.

OP, you cannot use a B2 to "live" in the US 6 months on/6 months off.  

 

The only avenue she has to be able to come and go as she wishes is US citizenship.
