The Opals were never troubled during the 107-65 result to consolidate two wins from two outings in the Asian Women's Cup in India.
Australia initially poured on against the diminutive Filipinos a domineering 68-23 opening half, of which Mansfield shot eight that included two three-pointers.
The point guard would go on to shoot a standout 83 per cent for the entire game.
The Tornadoes captain, who will miss three SEABL games for the tournament, also finished with four assists and two defensive rebounds.
Australian coach Cheryl Chambers, in the absence of Sandy Brondello, gave Mansfield 21:28 on the court following her 19:40 on debut for six points.
