Yes and you don't need a visa immediately. I think you have 30 days. I just returned from 5 months there. Even if you don't get your visa, it would only cost you about $50 to leave the country. Have fun. Don't invite anyone back to your hotel. Watch your stuff, but you'll love it. Most people are awesome. I think of it like New York. If you have any other questions, let me know.

yes, you will get your passport stamped with visa when you land in philippines. There is a limit which i think is about 35 days, then you need to apply for an extention

You must have a onward ticket you will get a 21 day visa upon entering the Philippines. You can extend if you desire. If planning to stay more then 21 days extend as soon as possible.

yes you can, i just did the same thing and stayed 13 days. could have stayed 21 as they stamped on my passport when i entered. its confusing when you arrive at the airport everyone else knows where to go so follow people who look like americans or tourists they may have been there before and know which lines to go to. good luck.
