Roughly 8,510 miles separate New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL), so a nonstop spends about 17h35 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Nonstop award space shows up in the data. Nonstops make up less than 1% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
New York–Manila is an ultra-long-haul trip, so cabin choice shapes the whole booking. The economy floor connects once; nonstop award space shows up, but a nonstop costs more, so plan on connecting. Listed taxes on the cheapest economy seat, about $15, look incomplete for an international departure, so confirm the cash cost at checkout. Measured against economy, premium economy is about 1.7 times the points and business about 2.3 times. Before moving bank points anywhere, confirm the seat is bookable, since transfers are one-way.
American AAdvantage takes economy at 37,500 points. Air France-KLM Flying Blue is cheapest in premium economy at 65,000 points. Alaska Atmos Rewards wins business class at 85,000 points. Delta SkyMiles lists first class from 265,000 points, but the fare connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment. Among the remaining six programs, United MileagePlus, Air Canada Aeroplan, and Etihad Guest are good places to cross-check.
Nonstop award space between New York and Manila does show up in the data. Off the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data route through Tokyo, Dubai, and Seattle. Award seats here come from 37 airlines, so compare several programs before transferring points.
