Welcome, Leo. I'm really sorry to "stall" your plans, mate. But, as my friends have already pointed out, it's extremely difficult these days for a Filipino - or indeed ANYONE of a foreign nationality - to acquire a Tourist Visa in order to visit the United Kingdom. I too, made the mistake of thinking my [THEN] Filipina girlfriend (now my wife) could come across here to sample the 'Great' British lifestyle, on the strength of it SEEMING the logical thing for her to do at the *time *[last year].
I would ALSO suggest doing what I did in the end: Meet her in her homeland, spend as much time together as you possibly can and take things from there ...! (see my earlier response to Ladybug_sim's post).
