Hi Ron
What I get from your e-mail is that you don't have any affiliation with any airline yet and are looking to do an award ticket with a carrier. What I would do is try to accumulate as many points/miles with a carrier that services Manila through whatever means available, ie: Clickmiles, Hotel pint transfers if available, actual flights, bonuses offered by the carrier. Do some research on who you would want to fly on and then post under the applicable airline thread and get as many ideas from them as possible. And a big welcome to the board.
Cheers Scott
