Easy if your up near Clark - Cebupac have a daily HKG flight at 7am and most days a second one in afternoon.
CathayDragon schedule to unreliable, only ops 3 days a week

From Manila can be hit and miss, Inbound delays from HKG effect return departure, coupled with rainy season slowing everything up, and not forgetting the nightmare of MNL ATC , remember T3 departures usually involve a runway crossing if departing from bay end.

Flights can be seasonal with loads , if planning to do it staff travel , certain times of day and week and year are a real struggle,

Avoid THU and FRI evening arrivals into MNL , traffic can be gridlock.

Having said that its possible, Quite a few Fedex and UPS drivers do the commute from CRK to HKG then onto CAN and SHZ

Before you make a decision, google "life/ living in the Philippines etc". Especially if you have never been there. Even better, visit the place for a few weeks so you can get a good idea of the place.....

Another aspect to consider;
If you're married, dumping the missus in Flipperville can give you plenty of grief if you don't chose an area inhabited by like minded folk, with nearby facilities and shops etc.
if you're not married, they look, feel and taste great - a lot of guys find their future ex-wife over there.
Ergo - Caveat Emptor.

Plus side, it's warm, & cost of living in flipperville is cheap.

When the American military had a base at Clarke, it had the highest divorce rate of any US military base in the world.

The Philippines is a place where an overweight, balding, middle aged man can suddenly discover how handsome he really is. Over there you've got PESOnality.

You need not be balding!

If you have never been there, the place is an eyeopener...
Highly suggest you physically go there and have a look for yourself before you make any momentous career decisions.
From my experiences I place Philippines one notch up from Nigeria...:hmm:
