Just remember that you should be married first to request one (and not be a UK citizen but a E.U country citizen) and the marriage previouly validated at the Embassy of your citizenship in the country where the marriage was done (so that it's recorded in your citizenship country database).
I think I sussed out a little more by Googling "EEA Family Permit".
Unless I'm mistaken :
Get Irish passport
Get married in Philippines (if she'll have me) after registering it with the Irish Embassy there,
Wife applies for Family permit using VAF5 to the British Embassy as I am an Irish (EU/EEA) Citizen living in the UK.
Sounds like an option unless I have missed something..?????
Though I may opt for the fiance visa as it will be cheaper than having to go to the PP's again to get married after my next imminent trip.
If the fiance visa application fails then i think maybe a Family Permit could be plan B.
- open to suggestions folks,

thanks
