Happened to me last month, booked direct with CX Cebu office, waitlisted for the longest time on V, confirmed on M, they extended my booking until 2 days before the flight, but still cannot confirm V, so i had no choice but purchase M, but i got upgraded on the return flight so it was at least worth paying the higher fare

The bright side of V class not opening up means that your flight might be overbooked and you will have a chance of an op-up.
