Transit in Beijing - Separate tickets

Hello everybody, I am currently in Beijing and I bought some months ago a flight from Beijing to Milan (Italy; my home country) . My flight from Beijing to Milan is the 18th of July. My problem is this: I want to go Philippines for one week, from the 10th of July to the 17th of July, and come back the 17th to Beijing Capital Airport to take my flight to Italy the day after. Can i apply for the free transit visa?
When I will be in Manila Airport (Philippines) to take my flight back to Beijing the 17th, what will the check-in desk say when they will see that I don't actually have any entry permit to China? Is there any chance they will not let me take the flight to Beijing?

Thanks in advance

Hi, Len, don't worry. As you will fly from Manila to Beijing and then fly onto Milan, you are eligible for the 72h free transit. It doesn't matter if you hold separate tickets. When you are at Manila Airport, you cann show the check-in desk your onward ticket from PEK to Milan and explain that you qualify for the free transit policy in Beijing. If everything goes well, I don't think they will not let you to take the flight to Beijing.

Thanks for your reply. However, what I need to know is something 100% sure, because I cannot miss the flight to Milan, I really can't cause I need to go back to Italy that day. And I also have another transit in Instanbul, so my trip would be Manila-Beijing-Istanbul-Milan. And my flight from Manila is in really early morning, so I don't really know if there were people eligible to let me take the flight to Beijing (I mean maybe at that time of the night there will not be the manager for example or whoever is in charge to take certain decisions).
