Yup, don't think Finnair ever flew to MNL. Some of the more "exotic" airlines that did way back in the 1980s: Sabena (Belgian), SAS, Swissair, Air France (via Bangkok and Tehran!), and Egyptair (Their Far East routing was Cairo- Bangkok- Manila- Tokyo).
For April 2022 -- try QR. They still have 2x daily DOH-MNL. Unsure if redemption seats available though. I suspect "revenge" travel now that PH is opening up with less restrictions than say, Thailand. Booked my April travel 8 months ago.
