The CX lounge at MNL is currently closed - it was open just under 2 weeks ago when I passed through. I didn't ask at check in when it was due to reopen and I'm not sure why it's closed. There appear to be general renovations going on at the airport. The APEC line is now reopened and to the far left of the departure area.

CX passengers are being diverted to the A lounge. It is a fraction of the size of the CX lounge and very busy. It's ok for a quick coffee or can of beer or to log on to wifi but less comfortable to relax for a couple of hours. So if you are planning on a breakfast at the CX lounge, you might want to grab breakfast elsewhere and plan not to arrive super early to relax in the lounge.

I did search to see if this is mentioned in another thread but couldn't see it, but happy for moderators to remove if this is a duplicate conversation.
