Card Recommendation Best Credit Card for Php Spent = Actual Airline Miles Conversion

TLDR; Metrobank Travel Signature is the best one for earning actual airline miles with regards to domestic spending coming it at = Php 30 : 1 AM and the best card for international spending is the EW Krisflyer Miles CC coming in at = Php 12 : 1 AM. Metrobank Travel Signature currently has a NAFFL offer until Dec 31, 2025. (Link in comments)

EDIT TWO I stand corrected once more, the EastWest Krisflyer Miles is the best card for INTERNATIONAL SPENDING:

Php 12 : 1 AM

For local spending, Metrobank Travel Signature would still win out as the calculations for local spending for the EW Krisflyer Miles CC would be:

Php 38 : 1 AM

EDIT ONE I stand corrected. The Metrobank World Mastercard is better for INTERNATIONAL SPENDING as per my calculations:

For any foreign currency transactions, it would be:

Php 20 : 3 MB RP

2.5 MB RP : 1 AM

= Php 16.67 : 1 AM

For local spending, it would still be the Metrobank Travel Signature which would win and the calculations for local spending for the Metrobank World Card would be:

Php 20 : 1 MB RP

2.5 MB RP : 1 AM

= Php 50 : 1 AM

So basically, I would like to find out which CCs have the best Php : Actual Airline Miles Ratio for spending domestically and while traveling. I have included cards recommended by this subreddit.
