I'm also going to assume that they use the same terminal 3 for incoming flights

We arrive HKG-MNL on CX.

Then looking to go to CEB via either CebuPacific Air or Philippines Air.

Next to Busuanga (USU), but that requires going back to MNL (ugh..).

Then USU back to MNL.

Lastly we take Korean Air home.

So according to the wikipedia page for MNL airport, does anyone know if this would be inaccurate?

T1 Korean Air
T2 Philippine Air to Cebu
T3 Cathay Pacific, Philippine Air to Busuanga, Cebu Pacific Air to Busuanga, Cebu Pacific Air to Cebu (on actual 5J flights only!)
T4 Tigerair Philippines (possibly codeshare with Cebu Pacific) to Cebu

We want to avoid terminal changes as much as possible before booking flights. Only 2 mo away, so hopefully nothing will change by then...

If we stick to getting to/from Cebu via Cebu Pacific Air (can check flights on their website to avoid Tiger Air ones), then Busuanga seems to always run through T3 as well, the only way we'd run into a terminal change is when we head home via KE. Right?

Both CX and Cebu Pacific are at T3 - no change of terminal.
Philippines Air to Cebu at T2 - you would be flying PAL Express.

KE is at T1 - change of terminal on your way back.
This is not commonly known but to change terminals there is a bus that goes between the terminal and it do not go outside in traffic - it stays within the terminal. It travels on the inside ramp of the airport- that saves a lot of time.
