Was leaning towards Cebu, I'll have half a day in Manila on the way home at the end of the trip, but curious if anyone thinks I should do something different here.

Davao is the other option that has a reasonable flight option from Singapore (though on a LCC instead of SQ J) and nonstop flight to Siargao
From DVO you also can look around Mindanao depending on what you want to see of course. Samal island is within a short boat ride from Davao. It has very nice beaches and resorts too. Or Mati and Dahican for surfing. There is no flight but it is a very nice drive from DVO and it would take about 4 to 5 hours by land.
