There is an article about FlyPop in the current issue of Airports of the World.

Nino Singh Judge explains that these aircraft when operating with Cebu Pacific were configured in a single class layout with 436 seats.
FlyPop will provide better legroom for the front rows resulting in a reduced capacity of 412. (3+3+3).

I guess these birds will be ETOPS certified, Extended Toilet Operations :mrgreen:

Thanks but no thanks.
