What are my chances of being offloaded?

Hi, I (31F) got my schengen visa from France for 40 days ME. My dilemma is that while I am capable of funding my own trip - I will also be staying at my bf’s parents’ home in France for a portion of my trip (which has an attestation d’accueil).

Some sources say that having a host is already considered a sponsored travel, while I called immigration at NAIA directly to ask. And they said AOSG is only required for travelers solely depending on another person, financially.

I’m just worried of being offloaded since it will be a 40 day trip on a tourist visa. I will be meeting my bf (French expat living in Manila) in Spain as he already left Manila ahead of me, and we will be splitting expenses. I just also dont want to be at risk of confusing the officers, since I will be also “visiting” his family there why is it not a visit visa. Or am i just overthinking?

What are the common questions asked at PH immigration? Especially if you’re a woman traveling alone.

For context:

I have a stable job (₱95k per month)

With savings of US$8,000

Recent travels to Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Laos, and Vietnam
