Well, MNL is where tons of call centers are based, and a military base, and thus it sustains year-round business traffic with high paid fares. Probably higher yields than SIN, which has much more leisure traffic than MNL (on DL metal).
I assume the military base and them being the only US carrier means that most Americans on govt business would have to fly DL...and that probably means great yields.
