As mentioned earlier in this thread you can only use your Filipino driving licence in the UK for up to a year. You can't swap your Filipino driving licence for a full UK one so you need to apply for a UK provisional driving licence, then when you are ready take a theory test, and then a practical test.

Provisional license is £50 (extra if you use the premium checking service), the theory test is £30, and the practical test is either £56.50 or £67.00 depending on the time of day/day of week. When you've passed both tests swapping your provisional driving licence for a full one is free.
