Mabuhay.

The best way for you to be together in the UK will be the EEA Family permit route.

It is the easiest and cheapest Visa that you can obtain.
There is no Visa Fees at all, totally free of charge.
Is the best Spouse Visa of them all.

here is a link for you to look at.

If you use the search facility you will find lots of other links and info which I posted during our application process.
It is virtually foolproof way to join your husband.
And according to the rules you can work from the moment you land, without restrictions.

The Family Permit is valid at first for 6 months, but anytime during this period you can apply for the 5 year residence card, which incidentally is also free of charge.
I strongly recommend that you marry first, preferably in the Philippines, in front of your family.

In bocca al lupo........
