I'm a Filipina and My boyfriend is a new zealander. Is it better to get married here in the Philippines or NZ?
Find answers to your legal question.

He plans to come here in the Philippines on February or March and wanted to marry me here and together, we can fly back to NZ as married couple. Would it be easier to apply for visa if we get married here since he only plans to stay for 1-2months and expects me to join him on his way back to NZ?

Generally it's better to get married in New Zealand, as you will be living there afterwards and won't have to worry about the additional paperwork of registering a Philippine marriage in NZ.
Apply for an entry visa at the NZ embassy in Manila on the grounds that you want to marry your boyfriend. Be aware however that such a visa application will take some time and may not be ready by February.

Read this page carefully as it is not as easy as getting on a plane after get being marries to your NZlander. He will first be evaluated in NZ if he is qualified to sponsor you. That and many other things in the website link attached.
