Hi,
I'm trying to book a points flight to the Philippines for Xmas/NY 2025. It seems easier to get to MNL than to CEB. I want to go to CEB because we're planning on scuba diving, and it's more convenient from there. However, if we need to transit in MNL, I'd just like to know how easy or difficult that is. I've seen some comments that MNL is a bad airport. But I am open to other opinions. If we had to do a layover in MNL, not the end of the world. I can try sisig.

thanks in advance and Happy New Year to everyone.
