Times use the real clocks in Eastern Time and Manila, including daylight saving.

Where EST and PHT are used

EST (Eastern Standard Time, Eastern Daylight Time in summer): New York, Toronto, Miami, Atlanta, Boston. PHT (Philippine Time): Manila.

Eastern Time covers the US East Coast, most of Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, and Ontario and Quebec in Canada. Panama, Jamaica and Cancún use EST all year, with no daylight saving.

The whole Philippines uses Philippine Time (UTC+8), with no daylight saving. In the Philippines it is often written PST (Philippine Standard Time), which is easy to confuse with US Pacific Standard Time.

EST and PHT: quick answers

Is Manila ahead of or behind Eastern Time?

Manila is 13 hours ahead of Eastern Time right now. That changes on Sunday, March 14, 2027, when it becomes 12 hours ahead of Eastern Time.

Does daylight saving change the Eastern Time–Manila time difference?

Yes. Only Eastern Time changes its clocks; Manila doesn’t use daylight saving time. Over the next year the difference is 13 hours now, then 12 hours from March 14. The converter above applies these changes for any date you pick.

What’s the best time for a call between Eastern Time and Manila?

Normal 8 AM–5 PM working days don’t overlap. The least painful option is 6:00 PM–10:00 PM in Eastern Time, which is 7:00 AM–11:00 AM the next day in Manila: early or late for one side, but inside 7 AM–10 PM for both. For a regular meeting, consider rotating the time (times for today; they move with daylight saving changes).
