How does a highly automated factory zone in the Philippines gel with the administrations promise of bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US?

instead if relabeling chinese products as vietnam, phillipine prodcts will be relabeled american.

Greetings Filipinos, its a trap. Do not trust the US. They will exploit your labor and pay you pennies (do those still exist anywhere?). They are selling you a bill of goods. Fire your representatives that are allowing this. No jobs are coming, only higher energy costs, more pollution, more fat cats, and more corporate ownership of your political system. Abort ship.

Just another symptom that the US is unable to manufacture for itself.

No, that is not correct. It's a symptom of unbridled capitalism. It has nothing to do with our ability to manufacture. It has everything to do with maximizing profits.
