Thanks in advance.
some comments which may help answer in this thread BA A380 positioning from Heathrow to Gatwick

apparently it is due to A380s only being able to arrive at MNL at certain times, and a departure time which allows for this being available at LGW but not from LHR due to the overnight curfew,
