Depends on which office you apply at! Edsa North and Cebu are the fastest!
I have gotten visa extensions 1 day at EDSA.

Ask the Philippine Embassy.

For my husband, it took 3 weeks at the Philippine Consulate in San Francisco, CA. But that was 12 years ago, and way before Covid-19 situation.

just to be clear, you got 6 months for the time you applied or from the time of expiration?

It's better to do visa extension before it expires.

Apparently I didn't make myself clear. You got a 6 month extension./ What was the status of yo9ur previous visa at that time?
I ask because people had been reporting they got a 4 or 5 or 6 month visa but what they actually got was a visa from when their visa had expired plus 2 months.
