I have no clue what you mean by "sofa stamp"!
Your best bet is to go to the nearest military base to you. Any military base - Air Force, Navy, Army.. - can help you.
If you are really married to an American soldier, they should have sent you the information you need. He should have given you all the information you need. If not, then someone isn't doing their job, including him. He should have set you up with all you needed. It is their duty to provide their families with all their contact information and where to go if their families need help while they are away. Your husband is wrong for not doing this for you before he left.
Anyway, go to the nearest military facility. You will need proof of your husband's service and a form of proof you are his wife. If you REALLY are a military wife, you know what form of proof I am talking about.
I find this really strange for any military wife to not know how to contact her husband or how to get the information needed to get to him. If you are for real, they have completely disrespected you and you HAVE to go to the military base and demand they help you.
*******EDIT********
Okay, there is ALWAYS a way to contact a military facility. We still DO go to the Filipines! Regardless, can anyone prove this person is ACTUALLY a military wife? I don't think so! (As a Navy wife of over 11 years and the daughter of a Navy war vet, I can promise you, ALL military spouses are given the information they need.)
Additionally, can anyone guarantee others reading this aren't gathering information to get to our troops? I don't think so!
The best and only advice is to get in touch with a military command. This person can obviously use the net, so she can go online and find a wealth of contact information for her husband's branch of service.
Loose lips sink ships! Think before you speak!

Status Of Forces Agreement aka SOFA stamp. Go to the legal office at the closest U.S. military installation.

the SOFA stamp is only for residency. if you are just going to visit, you don't need one, but you do need the Visa requirement that Germany has for PI citizens.
If you are trying to get SOFA sponsorship to live over there, I doubt that it will be easy, as you have to be a legal resident of the US first before you can get it.
and No Name.. while I agree, in theory, this woman is nowhere NEAR a US Military installation, as we no longer have any permanent bases in the Phillipine Islands. She cannot do what you are advocating.

He will stamp you on the sofa when you get there, it's a soldiers duty.
If he refuses contact his CO.

TO ANYONE ANSWERING THIS QUESTION:
Please DO NOT give out direct information!
Any military family member can go to any military facility for answers and help! This is the ONLY advice you should give!
DO NOT DIVULGE INFORMATION, SUCH AS THE MEANING OF "SOFA" OR PROCESS FOR FAMILY MEMBERS TO PROVE THEIR IDENTIFICATION AND RELATIONSHIP TO SERVICE MEMBERS!
IT'S NATIONAL SECURITY, PEOPLE! YOU DON'T KNOW WHO IS ASKING THESE QUESTIONS!
