If I buy an LG UltraFine 4k display can I connect a Philips USB-C monitor to one of the USB-C ports of the LG, and then the Thunderbolt cable from the LG to my MacBook Pro 16" 2019?
MBP <- ThunderBolt -> LG monitor <- USB-C -> Philips monitor

You can use USB-C adapters to monitors of certain types.
..If yours is Apple Silicon M1 ~ that's noted among others..

An older or off-spec display may require you to use adapters to fit later adapters.
There may be information that could determine suitability of your
MacBook Pro 16-inch and this LG UltraFine 4K. ~ Based on this link
this has smaller display of a similar technology.. (linked from yours.)

Hi
My question is not about getting either of the monitors to directly connect to the MBP, I know that will work. My question is about daisy chaining a USB-C monitor from the LG monitor. and driving the LG monitor with the MBP.
