Just to add to this story...

"A Category 2 rating prohibits PAL from increasing its 33 flights a week to the US and US territories and from changing the type or increasing the number of aircraft used on these routes, the airline added." (http://news.ph.msn.com/regional/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1190605)

"With the “Open Skies” policy prevailing between the RP and the US, American carriers are free to fly to the Philippines with unrestricted destinations and frequencies, but local carriers will be denied the same access because of the FAA rating.

Hawaiian Airlines will soon be operating regular service to Manila, clearly showing how US carriers intend to take advantage of the situation."
