Steve..You can apply for a 13a Visa at the Fil. embassy in London.. The advantage being that your visa will have a permanent stamp from the outset.
I have a few friend that go away to places like Malaysia,Thailand,Singapore,HK etc once a year with their Mrs to get their BB stamps on return. Its also a good excuse to see other parts of Asia.
A Balikbayan stamp is a one year visa free stay BTW.
