@jonjie1322, it depends if the tourist visa ud get doesn't have "no further stay condition" coz even if u get married in Australia and ur tourist visa has "no further stay condition" u would still need to go back to PI and apply for your visa in the Philippines..but if your visa doesn't have that condition then u can apply here and they will give u bridging visa..my fiancé and I have thought of that before as well,was on tourist visa with no further stay condition then we have thought of getting married but we seek help from migration agent and he told us that marriage is not a solution and it might just give bad impression..u know,like they might think u just wanna get married so u can stay,but it doesn't work like that here..anyway,so I flew back to PI and file partner visa and you need to be in the Philippines when they will grant it, but while waiting for that we applied for another tourist visa and this time it doesn't have any visa restrictions, it means I can extend my visa and I don't need to get out of Australia, so my agent took advantage of that..fiancé and I just cancelled my lodgement in Manila and filed onshore partner visa on dec.2013..unfortunately I'm still also waiting for my visa grant..as of now I'm on a bridging visa in Australia..
