I would be surprised if the Chinese embassy in Manila has these rules on their website because the 72 hour TWOV is not available to citizens of the Philippines. This also means that your airline is likely to be unfamiliar with the rules.
Someone here supplied a link to a Shangahi local government official website in English with an announcement of the 72 hour TWOV new rules and a summary of these rules. Bring a hard copy of that too to show to your LCC.
AFAIK the Chinese embassies in the USA do not have the new TWOV rules posted on their websites which have not been updated in several years. Other than TIMATIC, it's hard to find any official documents proving that TWOV is now allowed.
BTW, the answers here assume that you are a citizen of the USA or some other country that for which 72 hour TWOV is allowed. If you have a Philippino passport (only) you are apparently not eligible to do this.
