They are planning to return on award tickets, but availability on CX generally shows up six days in advance of the flight, which will be after they arrive in the PI.
He shouldn't need a return ticket. as he's eligible for the 1 year max stay (balikbayan). Just to be on the safe side, bring a copy of some proof of mother-son relationship (e.g. birth certificate) as the immigration officer might ask for it for arrival and/or departure. HTH
