I realise that this will not help you now, but it may help others reading this. Nine months is quite a long time without meeting and that will surely have been a contributing factor in the ECO's doubts about the relationship.

When such time periods pass without actually meeting it's always a good idea to arrange a physical face to face reunion shortly before submitting an application for settlement visa.
The ECO is often looking to satisfy any concerns about "intervening devotion" to confirm the relationship is genuine and lasting and that there is an intention to live together in UK.
The best way to evidence "intervening devotion" is to demonstrate on-going and recent physical contact.
Other forms of evidence can often be enough, but they do inevitably lead to increased scrutiny of the submitted evidence, and so needs to be comprehensive and clear.

he went back to uk october,then I took the English test, it takes 1 month for the result ,then another 1 month for releasing the certificate.I applied the visa as soon as I finish all the documents needed. we've waited for the visa application result for 3mos we didn't even realized it will take that long.We thought Ill be in UK April or May.

Let's hope and pray that the ECM will overturn the refusal. Appeals can take a really time. Six months would not be uncommon.

Maybe this is a crazy question, but is it at all possible to re-apply with all the needed additional evidence?

Thanks Terpe, I don't know really what's the best thing to do. Do you think it is better for me to re-apply even if I've already lodged my appeal?

i would wait a bit longer, the appeals tribunal have to send your appeal to the ECM In Manila for them to review your application and see if they will over turn it.

Sorry to hear about your refusal. I know exactly, 100% how you're feeling. Its so hard being away from the one you love. I am feeling really SAD and DOWN about being apart from my husband who I miss terribly We need to stay strong in our faith and lets pray to God that he'll enlighten the ECO's mind and soften their heart.Stay positive and everything will be okay in the end
God bless
