What do you mean? Would immigration officers or Home Office make her go back to the Philippines if she doesn't have ILR and rather have an expired visa? Yes they can if they catch her. But that would be living a life always worrying whether she would be caught or not. She also won't be entitled to any benefits since her current visa doesn't have recourse to public funds.

Also if she intends to work in the future, she won't be able to since she has an expired visa and doesn't have a right to stay and work here. She might also be reported to Home Office by possible employers if that happens. Hence, they can deport her.

Don't risk anything that would jeopardise both your lives here in the UK. If she gets caught with expired visa, she will be deported and will have a 10 year ban of getting back here.
