Manila's side is drawn as a nine-to-five, which is an assumption rather than anybody's stated hours. Every profile in the directory states the hours that person actually keeps.

Questions
- What time zone is the Philippines in?
- Philippine Standard Time is GMT+8 all year. There is no daylight saving, which is the part that matters for planning: an overlap you agree in March is the same overlap in October, and neither side has to remember to shift it twice a year.
- How many hours will we actually share?
- That depends on both sides, which is why this page asks for your hours rather than assuming them. The strip fills in the part of Manila's working day that lands inside yours, and the sentence beside it is the total.
- What if there is no overlap at all?
- Then the strip says so rather than rounding up to a number. Plenty of people here deliberately work a night shift for clients in North America, and every profile states the hours that person actually keeps, so you can filter for the ones whose day already matches yours.
- Does the Philippines change its clocks?
- No. The Philippine Standard Time Act fixes the country at GMT+8 with no seasonal change. Your own side may still shift, which is why this page recomputes from your zone's current offset rather than from a stored number.
