Yes, you are allowed to do that based on 24 hour visa free transit, however, it is essential that your arrival in China, in your case in Shanghai is not before the day preceding your departure at 16:30 (4:30 PM). In other words, if your departure from Shanghai by boat is on May 23 at 16:30, your scheduled arrival into Shanghai cannot be before May 22 at 16:30. It is scheduled times that are taken into consideration when traveling on 24 hour visa free transit. So, at the moment of your check-in in the country preceding mainland China, you will declare that you are traveling to Japan via Shanghai based on 24 hour visa free transit and in that very moment you will present your cruise ticket for Japan. After a short check, you will receive your boarding pass and you will board the plane. Upon landing in Shanghai the first thing that you will do will be to approach 24/240 hour visa free transit counter where you will apply for a temporary entry permit by presenting your cruise ship ticket and also an accommodation booking for an overnight in Shanghai. After a short check, you will be granted a permit for free and you will then continue to the immigration and then to the ship or to your hotel if you arrive a day before your cruise ship departure. As far as Hong Kong is concerned, here you do not need visa free transit stuff because as the citizen of the Philippines you can enter Hong Kong visa free. Have a nice cruise.
