This chaps child is 5, I recall. So a bit early for considering university options, however, I spoke to UK NARIC a while back and they said that the key comparison point is the vocational or otherwise nature of the Filipino degree. ( I must confess I don't know if the UK NARIC person on the end of the phone was feeding me a load of bullshine?) If the Phils degree is a vocational one (which my wife's is) then it will not be deemed acceptable as a degree in the UK. ( I did wonder about, say for example a nursing degrees as a for instance as a UK nursing degree must surely be vocational ), but that is what they said.
My whole point of speaking to UK NARIC was to establish whether or not my wife's degree taught entirely in English, would be acceptable by the UKBA instead of taking the English Language Test. Which they told me wouldnt be an acceptable alternative.
