Lowest economy is $708 in W, B, and B fares respectively
Flexible is $1206 in B, B, and B
If you advanced search for Y fare you find that it's $1368 in Y, Y, and Y
If you advanced search for Unrestricted economy, the search says that it's not available

So that routing is GUM-MNL-TPE-DPS.

BR offers two different one-way Y fares MNL-DPS, the cheapest (YOWPH) has a $50 US cancel fee. The more expensive (Y) is unrestricted and has no penalties for change or cancelation.
