It usually takes a couple of weeks or more from the time your I-129F petition packet is cleared to leave the NVC until the time it arrives at the U.S. Embassy Manila and is entered into the Embassy's system. Until your packet is entered into the Embassy's system, you will not be able to schedule an interview.

I would not wait for the Embassy to notify you that you are eligible to schedule an interview because sometimes they "forget" to notify you. Simply wait a couple of weeks until your packet is entered into their system, pay the visa fee, and then start trying to schedule the interview every day. You will know when your packet has been entered into their system because you will be able to schedule an interview either online or by phone.

In the meantime, since you have your NOA2 from the USCIS and your MNL case number from the NVC, the medical can be completed.

By the way, here is the letter from the Embassy which informs you that you are eligible for an interview. There is some good info in it.

Best wishes for a smooth and speedy visa journey!
