Ivor, we lived in the UK for over a year before my wife made any Filipino friends. She was getting quite lonely I think, but she had our daughter to occupy her time. She did meet an Indonesian girl who lives just down the road, nice girl, just a bit 'odd'.
Anyway, after bumping into a couple of Filipinos down the town one day she soon got into their 'circle' and discovered there were 20 or 30 in our area. She then meet some more while working as a care-giver in nursing homes.
She has a few good friends now, and a few non-friends too. (They were basically the gold digger type mentioned in other posts on the forum) I think you really do have to go out and search the good ones down, as you don't often see Filipinos out socialising or partying up in pubs, unless they are the type you DON'T want to meet. The decent ones generally keep themselves to themselves.
