About Philippine Time

The Philippines is a fixed UTC+8. It is a heavily quoted zone in outsourcing schedules, which is why the pairs from it to North America are among the most searched on this site.

Cities on this clock: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Taipei, Hong Kong, Singapore.

Watch out: Philippine Standard Time is often written PST locally — the same letters as US Pacific Standard Time, which is sixteen hours behind it.

About Hawaii Standard Time

Hawaii sits at UTC−10 and does not move its clocks at all — it opted out of US daylight saving in 1967. So its gap to the mainland widens by an hour for the eight months the mainland is on daylight time, without Hawaii doing anything.

Cities on this clock: Honolulu.

How the difference is worked out

Neither Philippine Time nor Hawaii Standard Time moves its clock relative to the other, so hawaii standard time is 18 hours behind philippine time is a rule rather than a fact about one particular year. The hour-by-hour table above holds on every date.

With both zones on their own standard time — daylight saving not in force anywhere — Hawaii Standard Time is 18 hours behind Philippine Time. That figure never changes; everything else on this page follows from it plus whichever clocks have moved.

Every figure here comes from the IANA time zone database via your browser's own Intl engine, using the zone ids Asia/Manila and Pacific/Honolulu. Nothing is looked up on a server and nothing about your visit is recorded.
