    To my knowledge, you need a transit visa. But, in case no one else provides an answer here, your best bet in getting the latest guidelines is asking the Japanese consulate directly: https://www.ph.emb-japan.go.jp/itpr_en/00_000035.html

    A relevant Reddit thread I found, from 11 months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/comments/w24z8f/japanese_transit_visa_for_filipinos/

    I recently had a connecting flight with 8hrs SG-HANEDA-USA and USA-Narita-SG, both without any Japan Visa.
