I have a stable job in Manila but I am very interested in exploring the scene in UK. Can you guys give rough numbers on the cost of living in UK? I know there are a lot of sites out there giving estimates but I want to know the "real" cost in terms of a Pinoy's perspective.

I hope you guys can help out.
Hi there, welcome here.
I'm sure you understand that 'cost of living' is relative.
It can be as high or as low as your disposable income allows.

Anyway, with the above in mind please have a look at this I believe it will give you a reasonable insight:-

Regarding the 'job offer' please take note of the warning given by Steve.r
Be sure you do NOT quit you current employment and do not send any money to anyone under any circumstances.
