Each Manila hour with the US Eastern time in both seasons. −1 marks a time on the previous day in New York.

Night shifts that match the US day

Many Philippine contact centers and remote teams work on the US clock. Because Manila is 12 to 13 hours ahead, the New York business day falls in the Manila night: 9:00 AM in New York is 10:00 PM in Manila during EST and 9:00 PM during EDT.

When the US changes its clocks, a shift that is fixed to New York hours moves by an hour in Manila. Rosters usually start an hour earlier in Manila from March and an hour later from November.

Offsets in 2026 – 2027, from the IANA time zone data in your browser's engine

The stretches with a 13-hour and a 12-hour gap, this year and next.

One clock for the whole country

The Philippines uses a single zone, UTC+8, often written PhST or PHT, with no daylight saving. The national weather and time agency, PAGASA, keeps the official time. Hong Kong, Singapore, mainland China and Perth share the same offset, so the numbers on this page also fit those places.

The US side follows the rules overseen by the US Department of Transportation. For live times, see the Manila, Washington, DC and Toronto clocks; Singapore has its own page at SGT to EST.

PST means two different things

Filipino colleagues sometimes write PST for Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8). In US usage, PST is Pacific Standard Time (UTC−8), sixteen hours behind.

  • Write PHT or Manila time for the Philippines.
  • Add the city when you send a time to the US.

PHT to EST questions

How many hours is Manila ahead of New York?

Manila is 13 hours ahead of New York while the US is on EST and 12 hours ahead while it is on EDT.

What time is it in New York at 9:00 PM in Manila?

It is 8:00 AM the same day on EST and 9:00 AM on EDT.

Do Philippine clocks change for summer?

No. The Philippines keeps UTC+8 all year, so the gap only changes when the US clocks do.

Is PHT the same as PST?

In the Philippines, PST can mean Philippine Standard Time, UTC+8. In the US it means Pacific Standard Time, UTC−8. Say PHT or Manila time to avoid confusion.

What US shift does a Manila night shift cover?

A Manila shift from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM covers 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM in New York during EST, or 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM during EDT.
