  If only for 1-2 months, Serviced Apartments would fit your requirements given that you are coming over as a family of 4.

  I haven't tried serviced apartments. alam ko lang maraming serviced apartments sa City. You could also probably try AirBNB for cheaper accomodation. I think these services/establishments would have contact details you can search for online.
