Leo, you cannot get a 6 month visa for 43 pounds.

The longest visa you will get from the embassy is 59 days. If you wish to stay longer you can go to the Bureau of Immigration and apply for an extension.

Hi Leo, Jake is correct.

I believe you may have misunderstood the information from Philippine Embassy.
That 6 month visa you mention is actually a multiple entry visa which is valid for 6 months from date of issue.
The maximum stay in the Philippines for each entry is 59 days, regardless of number of allowable or actual entries.
If you have the intention of staying in Philippines for 59 days or longer without leaving Philippines during that time then there's no real reason for multiple entry visa.

If you do intend staying longer than 59 days then you must secure an extension of stay with the Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines and pay the needed fees.

If you wish to secure a 59 day visa (either single entry or multiple entry) you can do this via the Philippine Embassy in London.
There is no need to apply in person, it can all be done by post.
