California has the largest Filipino-American diaspora so Los Angeles–Manila would make the most sense. Honolulu–Manila could work too, as the Filipino population in Hawaii is also quite significant. I think it's the second-largest at least in the actual number. If you did as a percentage of the total population then probably Guam and Hawaii would have the largest communities and, theoretically, the highest demand for a Manila flight.
