proof of transit visa prior to flight to china

Question

I want to fly from Manila to Guangzhou with airline A then within 72hr fly from Guangzhou to Kuala Lumpur with airline B. My understanding is that it is okay to enter and exit using different airlines and I can get the transit permit when I get to CAN airport. No prior arrangements necessary. However if airline A requests to see a Chinese entry permit before they let me on the airplane, what document can I show to prove I can get the transit permit when I arrive? I ask this because I had this specific problem with Cebu Air and they insisted on seeing an entry permit before allowing me on the flight, which I did not have and they refused my boarding. Obviously I will use another airline next time.

Mary, you can download relevant information about the 72 hour free transit policy and print it, and then show it to the airline. As far as I know, someone has done that before and succeeded. You can give it a shot.
