Honestly, I can't see how one can stopover at HKG or SIN.
AND IF THE FARE COMPONENT INCLUDES TRAVEL BETWEEN PHILIPPINES AND DXB THEN THAT TRAVEL MUST BE ON ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING EK FLIGHTS 333 THROUGH 334 EK FLIGHTS 336 THROUGH 338.
how could EK333, EK334 EK336, EK337, EK338 pass HKG or SIN?

It's EK's new unbundled C fare bucket called SPECIAL and is below SAVER. It comes with "perks" like no chauffeur service, no lounge access, restricted seat selection and last but not least little miles.

I think, AS will (needs to) adjust their chart as this "H" class is set by EK for these SPECIAL business fares. If your preferred ffp doesn't give any or little miles for EK "H", then neither the better nor the worse OTA can do much about it, can't they?

Not quite sure how serious your comment is, cause I think, you're experienced enough to know that already!?
No, it's not a special fare sale. It is a deeply discounted fare introduced a few months ago to certain markets only (for now).
