I actually support quite few charities in UK. Ageconcern, mind.org, nspcc.
I am also looking at bantay bata and rightly so you can do donations directly. You have to consider however that if your donation is only in the range of £20 monthly or less, much of the money will go to the bank for transaction fees. I still don't get it why don't they just open a paypal account where rates will be less.

I also considered collecting money in behalf of bantay bata to send money in bulk or through remittances but the greatest hindrance really is some people generally don't trust one another. Philippines especially is riddled with corruption. On the other hand, not doing anything is not an option for many.
