so--is there virtually no chance of "ordinary" people getting a visitor visa then?

It depends. If he/she can convince the British Embassy that he/she has ties and valid reason to come back to the Philippines and not overstay in the UK, then visa would be granted. Usually, the proofs needed are based on the properties he/she owns in the Philippines, savings, family ties, etc. But it's not always a guarantee to get a visit visa. It's a lottery as what a lot of people here in the forum says.
