Hello , I would like to request an information regarding about my departure here in the Philippines going to UK. 

I am a Filipino citizen and also a British citizen. I was thinking to go to UK using my British passport but I dont know if this is allowed or is there any fees i have to pay later on. I am not registered as Dual citizen yet. I am planning on traveling next year. Could you help me with this?
