Hi Arthur and welcome your basic choices here are chance your arm with the tourist visa and if your lady gets it make a spontaneous decision to get married in an Anglican Church (still an permissible side stepping of the rules unless i am corrected ) you will still have to satisfy spouse visa rules

This loophole is still open, but I don't think it's possible to switch from a visitor visa to a spouse visa whilst in the UK so it would mean returning to the Philippines and applying from there.

if i remember correctly, the COA was found to be unjust in court, but the gov is considering the judgement, in other words its ignoring the ruling

not sure this loophole is closing, but i think i read that illegal immigrants will not be allowed to wed.

and i think you can try and apply for a spouse visa in the uk, but the gov will leave you in 'legal limbo' for a very long time
