It's 2 hours and since PNH tends to be a busy airport nowadays, the MH serving staff can only set camp, after the previous airline closed check-in.
The airport is even that busy, that the departure monitors do not show the check-in desks long upfront.
Though you can ask at the airport information desk (between international and "domestic" departures. They know longer upfront which check-in desks will be assigned to MH, giving you the option to set camp to be the first to do check-in. Don't forget to ask, which desk is assigned J class, if that's relevant for you.
When you did do online check-in, there is a dedicated desk to drop-off your luggage. It's marked, though only in small writing. Usually, it's the J Desk.
