Chances are our Cebu flight will arrive at MNL around 3:30p and our CX flight departs MNL at 5:50. That essentially means we need to be at the check-in counter by 5pm. Feasible?
I recommend checking in online, and then inquiring at NAIA-3 information about the inter-terminal shuttle. PR recommends that passengers allot three hours for inter-terminal transfers. If all else fails, you can take the airport taxi, or you can go back up to departures and take a regular white taxi.
Just a fair warning: traffic gets heavy on Andres Avenue by around 5:00-6:00 pm due to evening rush hour and the way traffic flows there.
