Clearly you aren't in a relationship with your son's dad ... since you mention having a boyfriend who is still legally married. And therein lies [just] one of the reasons you were refused a visitor's visa ...the second being that you're currently unemployed - albeit with good justification, i.e., you are caring full-time for your child - and receive maintenance payments from the boy's father.

Situations like these - in themselves - would be sufficient grounds to deny your application. But there is also a third probability ... which arises from the understandable suspicion that lurks in the mind of practically all Entry Clearance Officers - as a result of flagrant breaches of the System in the past - notably where visitors *fail to return to their own country within the timeframe allotted. I'm NOT saying you'd be likely to fall into this *category ... but you can easily see WHY visitor visas are notoriously difficult to obtain.

So ... if I appear negative, but it'd be completely wrong of me to build up your hopes.

you are caring full-time for your child

That's highly commendable ... I admire you for that!

... don't despair; instead, why not focus your attention on encouraging your b/f to come and see you in the Phils? That way, you'd have the chance of getting to know each other properly (especially if you haven't met yet!) ... and it would put you in a stronger position if/when you [eventually] decided on a more permanent arrangement.

Meanwhile, to the friendly, online filipino/uk community.
