Yes he is mentioned, that is the only reason why I applied for tourist visa anyway is to visit him. He showed proofs of sponsorship but the ECO explained that is more of my ties here in the Philippines. I would even prefer to be interviewed rather than judging by the documents for God knows that a lot of filipinos who are now in the UK (supplied docs) have overstayed.

Any ideas anyone?
