The connections are there, but one problem I see with your theory is that I think he was flying smaller Cessna's....I don't think they would have the legs to get to the US from the PI or vice/versa. You should next research the type of planes he flew and the maximum range. Commercial flights to the PI from the US generally go West Coast, and then either the Southern route of Hawaii/Guam or Northern route skirting Alaska to Japan/Taiwan and then the PI...either way that is a lot of open ocean. Granted, you can modify the small planes to carry more fuel, but it comes at the expense of payload carrying capacity. IIRC, the payload capacity of a Cessna 210 is only about 1300 pounds.
