how long can i stay in the Philippines if I have a green card?

I'm planning to go back to the Philippines this summer to have braces for my teeth. It is cheaper there and I can't afford it here even though I have a dental insurance which will only cover $1000 per year and in Bay Area braces cost range from $4000-$8000 max. Can i stay there for a year? or 6 months? Thanks!

yes, if you're planning to stay for less than a year, there's no problem. but if you're staying out of the US for more than a year, you'll need a re-entry permit before leaving otherwise, you'll lose your green card status and you can never come back.
