If you're unhappy where you are, move. Why is that controversial? Are people just upset they don't like England? The Phillipines are a brilliant place to live if you have enough money, food and weather are great, people are friendly, landscape is gorgeous. The biggest hurdle is employment and if they are set, sounds like an excellent decision. Kids will grow up multilingual with access to nature. They keep UK passports so returning for school or work is feasible. Why wouldn't you move?

Crime rate is high in Philippines and evidently an awful lot of the citizens can’t wait to leave. It’s sort of like Asia’s Mexico.

Ok, but the Philippines? You have "anxiety" over potential terrorism in the UK. There is real terrorism in the Philippines. It's a much bigger problem there. Murder rates much higher, higher rates of poverty, far more corruption. You'll just be a rich tourist taking advantage of the lower cost of living.

Terrorism isn't spread equally through the islands, not is other crime. Don't move to a conflict zone, don't move to an area with a high crime rate. A person in my circle of friends has lived there for years, raised their kids there, and has had less experience of violence than she lived in LA. More concerning would be choosing a location that has some protection from natural disasters as typhoons are only going to increase in strength and the planet warms.
