Why people convert Philippines to MST time
- Scheduling a call from Philippines to MST: a 10:00 AM start in Philippines lands at 7:00 PM in MST the previous day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a -15h gap: Philippines and MST have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in MST is 6:00 PM in Philippines.
- Watching a live event or market open: Philippines viewers need 6:00 PM in MST to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 3:00 PM if the event is anchored to Philippines.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM PHT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -15h gap is not.
- With a -15h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Philippines takes the early slot, the next week MST does.
About PHT (Philippine Time)
Philippine Time (PHT) is fixed at UTC+08:00 all year. The Philippines has not observed daylight saving time since 1978, apart from a brief trial in 1990. PHT shares its offset with China Standard Time, Hong Kong Time, Singapore Time, Malaysian Time and Australian Western Standard Time, which makes Manila a convenient bridge for scheduling across East and Southeast Asia. As one of the world's largest centres for business process outsourcing, Manila keeps overlapping hours with both Australia and, on early shifts, the United States, and its contact-centre schedules are usually planned around Manila local time.
About MST (Mountain Standard Time)
Mountain Standard Time (MST) covers the Rocky Mountain region of the United States and Canada. Arizona is notable for not observing daylight saving time, staying on MST year-round (except the Navajo Nation). The time zone includes major cities like Denver, Phoenix, Calgary, and Salt Lake City. During summer, most areas switch to Mountain Daylight Time (MDT, UTC-06:00).
