The best I can find for roundtrip using miles roundtrip Chicago/Philippines is 95K miles + $87 USD on Delta. Does anyone know of any better milage rates?

Yes: 70K AA miles for the roundtrip in Economy, using CX/JL. You must call AA to book, as aa.com cannot display award seats on either of these partner carriers.

I agree with guv1976, I'm sending my parents AUS-ORD-HKG-MNL-HKG-EWR-DFW-AUS on AA/CX using 70K AA miles + ~$100 fees per person

CHI-Philippines for 95k SkyPesos isn't a bad deal if you can get it.

70K via AA/CX/JL is a better overall deal but if you have a lot of skymiles I'd use them up.

Thanks. I did call some airlines and it was ~70K. Good to know that trips aren't limited to what's online.
