Since you depart from ARN, you could get a full refund (minus the TA fees) and buy another ticket if you insist on going to MNL.
Unless you are a Filipino, you will have a tough time entering the country if you transit via HKG.

BTW: I am surprised by your 20h layover. There are 2 or 3 flights from ARN, so QR could reschedule you on a more convenient ARN-DOH flight.
