I've flown with them once therefore I couldn't say how frequent are the flight delays or cancellations.

Additional Tips:

Some of the airlines I've flown with will require the presentation of clear photocopies of the front of the credit/debit card and the Vaild ID of the card owner upon check-in and in cases of reissuance, rebooking and/or refund if the card owner is not part of the travelling party and is unable to present the credit/debit card used.
Other airlines won't ask for a photocopy of the front of the credit/debit card if the passenger is related(same surname) to the card owner.
Flight rebooking/cancellation fee ranges from P1,000-1400
In-flight snacks are ridiculously expensive: prices for chips, coffee and instant noodles ranges from P80-200 each.
