Sorry to learn about the refusal.........
So this was a visit visa then ??
Visit Visa's can be notoriously unpredictable.
Other than showing sufficient funding for the trip there's no financial requirement in the same way as visa's leading to settlement.........not sure what your exemption means...
It's worth a reminder to those reading here that the number one key issue for Visit Visa is
providing good reasons to return home
Sadly there's no appeal allowed for vistor visa's
As regards options.......well if you both have a confidence you can overcome the reasons given in the refusal notification then there's no reasons why you shouldn't chance you luck with another Visit visa application.
The other options are for a visa leading to settlement (Fiance(e) or Spouse)
I'd strongly suggest you research the needed requirements by review the forum thread here called
All New Guide - How to apply for a Spouse/Partner Visa
(do be aware that many of the links might not work as the UKVI webpages have all been updated and moved around)
You should also make searches here in the forum for any areas/topic of concern.
By the way, VFS has an Application Centre in Cebu if that helps.
VFS Global Services Philippines Private Inc.,
9th Floor, Keppel Center, Unit 905, Samar Loop
cor. Cardinal Rosales Avenue,
Cebu Business Park, Cebu City 6000
(Applicants who wish to lodge their UK visa application at the visa application centre in Cebu will be required to pay an additional service fee of Php 4,248 in cash at the visa application centre)
E-mail them at
info.ukph@vfshelpline.com for details.
For settlement route Visa's you'll both need to consider securing an English language Test pass certificate and also a TB Screening certificate.(The TB testing clinic is in Manila...that's the only one so far approved by UKVI)
Quite some considerations to think through
Good luck.
