I see a 8:25am Cebu5J or 8:35am AirAsiaN2 flight, might be a little tight.
Otherwise 9:10am PhilippineAir or 9:50am Cebu5J
I thought (not 100% sure though) AirAsia PH moved all their domestic operations to T2?
Do you have check-in bags? If not, the 8:25am on 5J would be doable as you don't have to wait to claim bags and you get to skip the 5J check-in counter (do OLCI), otherwise it will be very tight. The departure level of terminal is quite busy during early mornings.

It's not that crazy, this is FT

. I factor in which terminal an airline flies in/out of when booking. If I had a choice, I would depart from T1 and arrive at T3 for intl.
