What time zone is Manila in?
The local standard in Manila is PST — UTC+08:00, or 8 hours ahead of UTC. Systems that store time zones by name use Asia/Manila for this part of the world.
Daylight saving is not observed here, so UTC+08:00 is year-round. Any seasonal drift you notice against another city comes from that city, not from Manila.

Best time to call Manila
Overlap of a normal working day, shown in Manila time — outside these windows one side is off the clock.
| Shanghai | 09:00–17:00 in Manila | 8 hours overlap |
| Tokyo | 09:00–16:00 in Manila | 7 hours overlap |
| Sydney | 09:00–15:00 in Manila | 6 hours overlap |

No shared working window exists with New York, Los Angeles or Sao Paulo, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.
