Fuel contaminaion or blockage seems to be the only explanation for a simultaneous, multiple engine failure. In colder climes fuel filter heaters would be needed to melt possible ice and wax impurities in the fuel ; but in Manila temperatures not likely. Nevertheless use of fuel heaters used to be mandated in the Pre Take Off checks.
