1½ hours is below the 999-minute international MCT at Mactan International. You may need to rush and could miss your connection. The entire airport is one small building with check-in counters, a single security checkpoint, and a small waiting area feeding directly onto the tarmac. There is no inter-terminal transit system because there is only one terminal, and no international arrivals so no re-screening scenarios exist.

What happens if I miss my connection at NOP?
If you miss a connection, go directly to the single airline counter in the terminal, as there is no dedicated transfer desk; given limited daily flights, expect to be rebooked on the next available flight, which may be the following day.
