You have to go personally to the UK Visa Application Centre to submit all your documents (Photocopy and Originals) as you need to register your biometric details (finger prints and full- face digital photograph). Do not bother clipping them as you will submit them one by one to a receptionist and she would put it in a big envelope intended for those documents.
Before you go there, make sure you already paid your visa fee and have booked an appointment with the UK VACS otherwise you might not be entertained. After submitting your documents, the receptionist will ask you if you would avail their postage service ( I forgot the term for it). It’s basically paying P350.00 to post your original documents back to you should your visa be approved through LBC.
You said you hubby would be with you to submit your documents. Sad to say, you have to go inside the building alone, he would not be permitted to get inside. Let him stay in the canteen, which is located in the basement of the building, ask the guard about it, otherwise he would be staying under the Sun.
Since your from Cebu, I suggest you stay in a hotel in Makati as it is near the UK VACS. I would highly recommend the City Garden in Makati. I stayed there for 2 nights just to process my documents, and then I went back to Davao and waited for the result. Anyway, you can track the progress of your documents on line based on your receipt from the Centre.
After 2 months, got a call from the British Embassy and that it was approved. 3 days after the call, I received my original documents through LBC.
Good luck!
