About time in Manila
Use this Manila clock to keep Philippine time on screen for distributed teams and families.
Manila uses Philippine Time (UTC+8) throughout the year. This page formats the live display with the IANA timezone Asia/Manila.
Manila does not observe daylight saving time.
Keep it visible for distributed teams and families across East and Southeast Asia. Check the live date as well as the hour when locations may be on different calendar days.
Working across timezones
Manila shares UTC+8 with Hong Kong, Singapore, and Beijing and has strong overlap with Seoul, Tokyo, Bangkok, and Jakarta. Europe joins late in Manila’s workday, while North American collaboration often uses Philippine mornings or evenings. Check the date for overnight handoffs.
Manila does not change clocks, so regional Asian comparisons remain predictable. The difference from Europe, North America, New Zealand, Sydney, and Melbourne changes when those places adjust their clocks seasonally.
Manila: A Harbor City of Many Influences
Manila faces a broad natural bay and carries layers of Indigenous, Spanish, American, Chinese, and wider Southeast Asian influence. Historic Intramuros, busy commercial streets, universities, churches, markets, ports, and tightly knit residential communities sit within the much larger Metro Manila region. Music, basketball, family gatherings, street food, and a lively mix of languages shape everyday life. The city can be crowded and intense, but the warmth of its social culture and the glow of an evening over Manila Bay give it an unmistakable personality.
Business-hours examples are orientation for ordinary weekday coordination, not a promise that a person, office, market, school, or public service will be available. Local holidays, flexible schedules, religious observances, remote-work policies, and individual routines can all change the useful overlap, so confirm the participants’ availability before fixing an important event.
Timezone rules are maintained outside this site and can change through government decisions or browser timezone-data updates. Timer on Screen formats the selected IANA timezone with the data available in the current browser. For travel, broadcasts, deadlines, or other consequential plans, verify the final date and time with the organizer or another authoritative source.
