Funny you should mention a MNL quick-turn because I've actually done just that (long story). Incidentally, that was my best trip to MNL and given the current political situation think you're smart to get out as fast as possible.

As for your question, 1 hour should be ok, but I hope you're flying a carrier with more than one flight. Other thoughts:

-t1 is a real dump
-t2 (which is only used by PAL, for free at tha) is really nice
-duty free prices are very good there
