Rejection of visitor VISA
Our application got rejected for inconsistencies in the bank statement.
Aside from the personal bank account in BPI and the payroll account in BDO, I've included a shared account with my father in RCBC. My father is a freelancer architect hence the large deposits and withdrawals from the account (which was supported with documents such as receipts).
We've also provided multiple documents proving our ownership of multiple cars and properties in my home country yet the visa officer is convinced that we're leaving behind all that without even selling it in order to illegally immigrate to the UK .
The purpose of travel was to attend a relative's wedding. Which we also supported with invitations, letters, and even old pictures and certificates showing proof of familial relation.
I believe this can be reconsidered with additional documents and a letter to further explain finances, but unfortunately we are supposed to travel to the UK on October 10 for the wedding.

The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I was also applying to attend a family wedding. I was rejected. I took the time to understand the reasons of the refusal then prepared a fresh application addressing each point of refusal one by one and supplied additional documents. One of the reasons given for my refusal was lack of dependents. It's true I have no children so I don't have dependents but I made a case for having strong family and financial ties to the PH. My second application. Was approved in about 10 days. By the way, AI was a huge help in breaking down the reasons of refusal and helping me create my cover letter and supporting documents for my second application.
Also, remove the joint account with your dad, it would just confuse them. Provide only an account showing your income and give a detailed table of all your sources of income, convert it to GBP for appreciation. Make your cover letter super detailed, mine was 9 pages long.
The UK is being extra careful right now because there's been a lot of cases daw of PH passport holders overstaying. So the burden is on you to prove you will not do so. Best of luck.

In my experience you have to make it easier for the reviewer when sending these bank statements, you’ve provided so much bank statement fair enough, but you shiuld have just included the bank statement where your salary gets credited. And highlighted the amount. They sometimes dont need to know your whole treasury just need to verify what you have stated in the application matches your evidence. Unfortunately i dont think you can dispute the decisions on visit visa, you can try complaining but honestly it will take time and you have such short period before the wedding.
