As you may have read, the Philippines has done away with fuel surcharges (just like Brazil).
In light of that, it's been so much cheaper to book awards ex-MNL, ex-CEB and other international airports, especially on SQ and Silk Air flights. Now, Singapore plans to launch 5th freedom flights from the Philippines, which would lead to cheaper award flights to planned destinations (Osaka?) without having to route through Singapore.
