The 2 year settlement visa only covers UK. She is free to travel elsewhere subject of course to other countries allowing visa-free stay for Filipinos - for example, Hong Kong allow 14 days. If she wants to travel to Europe, she will need to apply for a Schengen Visa, but this does cover ALL mainland Europe countries.
During the 2 year Settlement Visa period, she will be allowed to travel out of the UK for a maximum period of 3 or 6 months at a time (can someone else confirm this - I'm sure its 6)

Thats partially correct Rob, not much in it, she can only be absent from UK for a total of 90 during the 2 year period prior to applying for Indefinate leave to remain.
Just to let you know also Rob, got G's passport back this afternoon, after I pulled a sneaky and parked outside the embassy and nipped in quick, picked up passport and did a quicker runner out to the car and b......rd off.
