Looks like you're in the Philippines, where the temperatures are high and the humidity is higher and all kinds of micro-organisms have evolved to thrive in that situation. So, you have an extreme situation.
Most of the advice given so far is for temperate climates and would probably not be very useful in solving your problem.
I'm quite sure that in your area there are woods that are well known to resist rot. A wood like teak comes to my mind, but there may be a better wood in your area. My advice would be to have some doors made by a local craftsman from that material, whatever it may be.
That way your doors will be beautiful, long lasting and traditional... and you would help a local craftsman feed his family.
