Jen,
I have done a little bit of a research about acceptable English Exams there in the Philippines, but the search engine always give me IELTS and TOEIC/TOEFL only. Both of them cost almost the same and as you may have known already, UK Home office suspended any ETS recognized English test TOEFL & TOEIC as approved English language qualification for immigrants in UK. So I guess that leaves you no other choice but to take the IELTS. I know that it cost a lot of money but in just one take I'm sure you'll get a score beyond what the home office requires you for the current visa you are applying. You will be alright.
Good luck anyway. God speed!

Hello Love,
I have just seen the website of IELTS and it says there:
"The deadline for submission of application is set three weeks prior to a certain test date."
I am afraid because my visa result might come this month or July, I wouldn't know if I will be able to take the exam if I will apply for it. I am really scared that Embassy might ask for another exam and place my visa on hold, gosh it will take time. :|

(Based on my research) Updates on TOEFL/TOEIC test:
Updated 19 May 2014
The Home Office suspended the use of TOEFL/TOEIC for visa purposes back in February, and a further announcment was made since then.TOEFL/TOEIC cannot be accepted as a test of English for the visa purposes, unless the test was taken on or before 17 April, outside the UK. TOEFL/TOEIC tests taken after this date, and those which have been taken in the UK, will not be accepted.
Your application will be fine Jen...You took the exam and applied for your visa before April 17, and you are outside the UK.
Best of luck friend!

There's a limited number of UKVI Approved English Language Test providers.
Cambridge and Pearson are both UKVI approved SELT providers.
Pearson have their PTE tests (Pearson Test of English)
Here's their website
I've a feeling that Manila may be their only testing centre. Worth checking though.
Cambridge offer a significant number of different tests with different ranges and levels etc.
Here's their website
Here are the different tests (all UKVI approved):-
Cambridge English: Key (KET)
Cambridge English: Preliminary English Test (PET)
Cambridge English: First Certificate in English (FCE)
Cambridge English: Certificate in Advanced English (CAE)
Cambridge English: Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE)
Cambridge English: Business English Certificate Preliminary (BEC Preliminary)
Cambridge English: Business English Certificate Vantage (BEC Vantage)
Cambridge English: Business English Certificate Higher (BEC Higher)
Cambridge English: International Legal English Certificate (ILEC)
Cambridge English: International Certificate in Financial English (ICFE)
BULATS (Business Language Testing Service)
IELTS (International English Language Testing System)
You'd need to talk with them to find out about prices, test centres and availability.
Hope it's useful

You will have 6 months on your fiancé visa and you know that right? If you are in doubt about the validity of your TOEIC certificate for your FLR application, then you can take IELTS or different approved English exam here in the UK(as you may know already, there's plenty). You can perhaps take the exam when you arrive here so you will no longer cram when you are close to your FLR application. Okay?

We got this afternoon. It looks positive. (We also took the TOEIC)
Your visa will be despatched shortly. Passports can normally be collected from the Visa Application Centre after 3 days depending on which country you applied from or will be couriered back to you only if you have availed of this service. UKVI
