## Time difference and daylight saving

Manila uses Philippine Standard Time all year. It is 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles during Pacific Standard Time and 15 hours ahead during Pacific Daylight Time, which runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Afternoon in Los Angeles is already the next morning in Manila. Philippine Standard Time and Pacific Standard Time can both be written PST, so use city names in invites.

Select a date and time above to compare the exact difference.

## Finding a meeting time

The workable window is late afternoon in Los Angeles and early morning the next day in Manila. During winter, 4–5 PM in Los Angeles is 8–9 AM in Manila; during summer, 5–6 PM in Los Angeles is 8–9 AM in Manila. Many Manila teams working with the US keep night shifts; set their real working hours so suggestions reflect the agreed schedule, and check the date on both cards.

Use Working hours to set each city’s local schedule. Suggestions use 8 AM–5 PM by default, include weekends, and do not check holidays or calendars. Add to calendar exports your chosen moment; it does not send invitations.

Seen an abbreviation like PST, IST or CST in an invite? Read [time zone abbreviations explained](https://wherora.com/guides/time-zone-abbreviations/) to check which one is meant.
