Hello Belle
if you come over on a fiance visa and get married over here in the uk you will have to apply for FLR visa (further leave to remain) so you can legally stay and work here after two years you will then have to apply for ILR visa (Indefinate leave to remain) where you will be allowed to stay in the uk permanetley (settle) free from immigration control.

I you came here on a settlement visa as you were married in the philippines you just have to apply for ILR after two years here
