About Philippine Time (PHT)
Philippine Time (PHT, IANA: Asia/Manila) — also called Philippine Standard Time (PST) — is the civil time of the Republic of the Philippines, set at UTC+8:00 year-round (no DST). Philippines observed Daylight Saving Time briefly between 1936-1938 and 1942-1944 during Japanese occupation, but has remained on PHT year-round since 1944. The Philippine Standard Time Act of 2013 (Republic Act 10535) established PHILMET — the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) — as the official timekeeper, and mandated that all government clocks display synchronized PHT. PHT is identical in offset to China Standard Time (CST), Hong Kong Time (HKT), Singapore Time (SGT), Malaysia Time (MYT), Brunei Time (BNT), Australian Western Standard Time (AWST). PHT serves approximately 117 million Filipino people across 7,641 islands organized into 17 regions + 81 provinces. Major Philippine cities: Manila + NCR (1.8M city, 13.5M metro — National Capital Region also called Metro Manila is the world's most densely populated metropolitan area), Quezon City (3M — NCR), Caloocan (1.7M — NCR), Davao (1.8M — Mindanao), Cebu (1M — Visayas), Zamboanga (980K). Affects: PSE (Philippine Stock Exchange) trading hours, BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) industry shift schedules.
About Central Standard Time (CST)
