Yes a Kiwi can come to the Philippines and get a 30 day tourist visa on arrival, without any problems. Doesn't mean they have a right to work, unless they apply for a employment permit. You stated that your g,f cant go there to work. There is a big difference between a tourist and work visa in any country.
I do agree with you that Filipino's are sometimes discriminated against when applying for tourist visas. The reason is their fellow countrymen and women have either overstayed or not complied with the conditions attached to their visa's in the past.
My wife who is a Philippine citizen has never had a problem when applying for a visa in any country, even before we met.
