OK, that helps.

For RPLL, the MVA to the east is 3500' from 10-20nm. The ILS not below altitude is 2500' at 7.5nm.

ATC normally vectors you onto the approach around 12-15nm, not below 3500', which works fine.

In this case, you can capture the glidepath outside 10nm, as the 3.1 degree glide slope is 3550' at 10nm. If you aren't certain of the math, just stay at 3500' and capture the glide path at 10nm (from 3500', which is what your ATC clearance would be). If you miss the glidepath, the you can still capture it by 2500' at 7.5nm.

Interesting, the procedural approach has you at 4000' until established inbound. That would be challenging!

There is significant terrain there, be aware of it. Always.
