It's interesting that i should read your post now. I can understand how hard it is for you, and you've gotten through a lot, but once you've had a few holidays at home things will balance out and what you crave, suddenly doesn't seem so rosy when you go back. I remember that Marvie hated the UK the first few times she came (through work for training courses before she met me), but eventually came to like it.
I've just left the Philippines after living there for around 4 years. I posted a bit of a controversial thread on an Expat Forum about how I'm happy to leave the Philippines. Some of the things you love about the Philippines are some of the things that have made me want to leave. One thing is for sure, when you as a Filipino come to the UK, you are welcomed into the country and given all the rights and freedoms and equality that you deserve.
Unfortunately in the Philippines as a westerner, the same cannot be said sadly, and that can make life difficult for us.
