    Do you already have British Citizenship?

    You can only be Dual-Citizen if you are both a British Citizen and natural Filipino Citizen.

    From what you've said, you've no way of returning to the UK without your husband being willing to sponsor you, and also without your husband being in employment with an annual earned income of £18,600 for at least the past 6 months
    (unless exemption)
    To enter by using savings only there would need to be £62,500 which must have been held for 6 months

    The chances of you securing a working permit route here are virtually zero I'm afraid.

    On your question of divorce, it's really a tricky one for you.
    The divorce must be filed in UK. There are conditions relating to residence which you don't appear to meet.
    Also be advised that IF you were the petitioner, then as a Philippine National that would not be recognised in Philippines and you would not be free to marry.
    You could only achieve that IF your husband would agree to file for divorce as the petitioner. You would both need to discuss how to meet the UK grounds for divorce.

    I'm really sorry that as yet we've not been able to give you much positive feedback.
    Whichever direction you feel is best, there's no way forward without some contact to your husband.
