I'm traveling from New York to Manila with a stop in Beijing, on Air China.

So you are using Air China for the whole journey, right? If so, your time can be enough for transfer. Don't worry!

Have fun in Manila! I used to live there!

i am making this same trip on April 27th with same layover time. Did you have any problems with customs or anything?

Well, you need to provide the two airlines if possible that can help me find the terminal building they located.

Nope, not a single problem! It took me maybe 30-45 minutes to go through. I had plenty on time. Enjoy your trip!

Jessica, sorry. it is air china from JFK all the way to MNL.
Ryan, thanks man, ive a bit nervous. did you have to go all the way to the other end of T3?

Oh, I see. It's international to international transfer in T3. Generally speaking, the minimum transfer time is about an hour. So you have enough time to complete the procedures. Don't worry.

I believe I did have to go to T3 but I'm not completely sure. When you're on the plane from JFK to PEK there will be other people going to Manila, there were a lot when I went. So just follow them. If you can't find anyone else going to manila, ask the airport personal. They don't all speak good English, but they can help. Simply follow the signs to the transit area, then follow the signs to security, then on to your gate. I'm assuming you'll be arriving around 6pm, therefore there won't be many people at the airport, so customs is a breeze. They will simply look at your passport, then send you through.
