I just got back from the Philippines (3 weeks in May), and while I was there I learned about a new visa - SVEG (Special Visa for Employment Generation): http://immigration.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=473&Itemid=103 http://immigration.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&t... The SVEG is a special visa issued to a qualified non-immigrant foreigner who shall actually employ at least ten (10) Filipinos in a lawful and sustainable enterprise, trade or industry. Qualified foreigners who are granted the SVEG shall be considered special non-immigrants with multiply entry privileges and conditional extended stay, without need of prior departure from the Philippines. That may be exactly what you need. I'm looking at it because I already employ 10 locals.
