Why people convert Philippines to PST time

Scheduling a call from Philippines to PST: a 10:00 AM start in Philippines lands at 6:00 PM in PST the previous day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a -16h gap: Philippines and PST 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 PST is 5:00 PM in Philippines.
Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Philippines is 4:00 AM in PST makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM PHT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -16h gap is not.
With a -16h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Philippines takes the early slot, the next week PST 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 PST (Pacific Standard Time)

Pacific Standard Time (PST) covers the west coast of North America, including tech hubs like San Francisco and Seattle, and entertainment capital Los Angeles. The Pacific Time Zone is home to Silicon Valley and the world's largest technology companies. During summer, clocks advance to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-07:00). PST is also observed in Baja California, Mexico.
