Hello,I am happy to deal with your UK immigration law issues. This sounds very wrong. You cannot have a stamp of a Heathrow immigration officer if you have not yet travelled to Heathrow/UK.Also, there are no official fees such as tax clearance and flight insurance certificate.I suggest you ring up the UK Consulate in Manila to verify the visa, but it doesn't sound genuine to me. Thank you

can I further ask ,is it normal procedure to process the Visa with only a copy of my passport not using the original one since I believe it is stamped on the passport
No it is not normal.Your original passport would be required and your visa would be processed by the UK consulate in Manila.All the best
