Let me tell you the conclusion first: You may finish your trip smoothly.
The policy requires tourist groups to enter Shanghai by cruise ship and exit from China by the same cruise ship, that is, you need to take a cruise to Shanghai to enjoy the policy. So you are not eligible.
But, since you can enjoy 24-hour visa-free transit, if your cruise ship will leave Shanghai for Jeju within 24 hours upon your flight arrival, you can finish your cruise tour smoothly, and after disembarking in Shanghai, you can enjoy another 24-hour visa-free transit holding a return flight ticket to take a flight back to Philippines within 24 hours.

So, you need to make sure that you can board the ship and leave Shanghai within 24 hours upon flight arrival and buy the ticket from Shanghai to Philippines.
