Most of CX's offices will not accept a booking as such, and just to issue the ticket without you being there to sign your creditcard.

There is also some strange tax that is attached to tickets originating in Manila.

Better try calling them first in MNL. Look up cathaypacific.com

My suggestion - do your entire booking in your home country ie Australia? Then with the record locator, call CX MNL up and tell them you want to issue the ticket there.. they will then advise you accordingly.
