Oh okay so I have just read that same reason, well girl you should apply for settlement then, if you do not really have strong ties here in the Philippines, they will never approve it unless you have lots of savings, properties and a strong evidence that you will go back here, your work (if you have)I must say that it wasn't that strong enough as a reason for going back here.
But please provide the specific reasons and your case so the people here will be able to help you
