Welcome aboard Filipino UK Phil
As others have said, agents / immigration advisors are not really needed unless there are some major complications with the application.
The thing is that you don't want to forget or miss anything. You don't want to cut any corners, you do want to be sure all requirements are done and dusted, all supporting documents included.
In short be fully compliant with immigration rules and minimise all risks.
Most people do it themselves and very successfully too.
But.... if you really can't give the time and attention needed, or you feel there are some weaknesses or complications that pull down your self-confidence, then by all means consider getting some help.
There's more than enough here on the forum, but if you've got the budget get some professional assistance.
You can always double check your advisor's advice here
Also do be sure that whoever you take on has experience with similar application cases to yours.
There's a lot of people out there just waiting for your money. There are no short cuts or guarantees for a spouse visa. Remember advisors cannot do the real work for you, they cannot collect all the documented evidence. You still need to do that yourself.
All they can do is ask you to supply information and the UKBA required documentation.
Above all do not engage any agent in Philippines.
