Hi, we are traveling from Atlanta to Manila via Shanghai, economy, are we allowed to have a personal bag, like for our medications, and electronic on top of our carry on luggage?

You can bring personal items such as medications. Personal electronic items can be taken but it depends on which items are to be taken. If you could list the items it would help.
