welcome to the forum.
I too am from Northern Ireland and it is a small world on here. I too have married a filipina last year. We submitted our application last month. I advise you to use the search facility and search for spouse visa requirements.
here is a link to a great guide.

also look at british-filipino.com as there is alot of information there. It is a long process and I hope you have kept all your flight tickets boarding pass as evidence that you have been to the philippines. I have 7 trips so alot of pages.
What I have learned from applying is:
- Only pay the fee why you are about to go to the application centre to submit docs
- when at application centre have everything in one folder and not spread across 5 or 6 etc. reason is they take all your docs and put in their one big folder.
- good luck with it.
Hope that is off some help.
