How many time do I type this: HE NEEDS TO VISIT YOU ..... it makes the visa process sooooo much easier, and shows his commitment to you and your family...... as well as UK immigration. It also ensures he gets a better understanding of your lif & culture in the Phil which helps the relationship.
Then when he's gone and you decide to be together, you need a Fiancee Visa, unless you marry when he is with you in which case it's a Spouse Visa.
