Thanks everyone for the replies,
Update: Qantas called me an hour ago to ask me how I felt about AMS - HEL - Tokyo - CEB which would be a super long leg and in Economy instead of Business.
Considering the sheer amount of points used I have kindly explained that this was a special RTW flight and would prefer to head AMS-DOH-MNL route if possible.
At this time I'm told she will need to hear back on two things; confirmation from her supervisor and confirmation from the participating airline, Qatar.
I then added that flying into Hong Kong at any stage could render me unable to take any future flights and things are changing rapidly. Avoiding this in advance will prevent further hardship as it will be harder for me to communicate once I'm in Asia.
The ladys silence almost felt like she wanted to agree but couldn't out of workplace formalities.
Lastly, coming out of Japan I was scheduled to pass Hong Kong one more time back into Australia.
So,I should be receiving a phone call today on the following:

So,I should be receiving a phone call today on the following:
- Further options and whether or not the AMS-DOH-MNL routing is possible on their end and Qatars.
- Plus whether or not the MNL-CEB-MNL broken part of the leg will be waved by Qantas.
- Direct flight out of Philippines to Japan in the same class, bypassing Hong Kong.
- Direct flight out of Japan bypassing Hong Kong back into Australia.
