I'd personally be surprised if a 5 year visit visa was issued to a single Filipina with a British boyfriend, but I guess it's worth a try.
yes, i would be surprised if you got a 5yr visit visa, you might have been lucky getting your first one, more chance of getting a 5yr one if its for a family member .

but like darren said , it's worth a try
