When booking tickets to, from and/or around the Philippines, be sure to stand by during Philippine holidays as most of the airlines use these dates to sell their promotional tickets which usually start either at 12 midnight or 12 noon. Cheapest tickets that I bought were tickets from Manila to Seoul and back for just 1,100 Philippine Pesos and Manila to Singapore and back for only 1,200 Philippine Pesos, all inclusive. Just have the patience to wait and look. 

Have fun searching..
