Typically if it was LAX-MNL, i'd tell the counter to credit the flight to AA first and the next leg to CX, while say if it was the reverse, MNL-LAX, i'll have them credit it CX first (if the flight is Y only) and the long haul to AA. Just doublecheck on your boarding pass.

Note though if you have a better status on one FFP over the other this may impact your changes for things like OP-UP.
