So the government website says the wait time for an visa interview in Manila is 7 calendar days but when try to schedule an appointment the earliest date is first week of August . How can there be such a wide gap. I can see  maybe a few weeks but not months. Anyone else have this issue ?

I struggled with the same. I booked mine in September and there wasn't anything until late October (I know, not that big of a gap) but then 5 min later, I checked again and there was another opening just 2 weeks from that day :-) so keep an eye out!

You just need to keep checking it. Shortly after midnight seems to be a good time to check, if possible. I would be surprised if August (or anything more than 2 months out) was never available in Manila.
