I haven't seen any major cancellation so far between 2020-03-15 and 2020-03-19 for international departing from MNL From 2020-03-20 00:00 all flights were supposed to be canceled according to the "enhanced" lockdown announced on 2020-03-16 evening but the ban was later lifted for non-Filipino citizens on 2020-03-18.

https://www.manila-airport.net/naia-departures?day=tomorrow (mirror) doesn't seem to show any cancellation, but weirdly domestic flights aren't canceled either, so I doubt it is accurate.
