Since you have been living together in a genuine and subsisting relationship like marriage for at least 2 years, then she'll have the option of applying for a Family Visit Visa.

She'll need to follow all the requirements of the Family Visit Visa and of course you'll need to prepare a letter of invitation and sponsorship.
Your sponsorship will include financial support for funding of airfares and for accommodation and day-to-day maintenance.
Since you are actually living in the Philippines it should (theoretically) be somewhat easier to demonstrate good reasons to return. However, be prepared to overcome the ECO's presumption that there's an immigration intent.

If you're seriously considering a Family Visit Visa don't get too hung up on the myriad stories of refusal reasons. Just do it.
The cost is relatively low and any initial refusal may be easily countered and enable a subsequent application to be granted.
good answer my friend so you reckon family visit visa is the way forward
