About these time zones
Eastern Standard Time (EST)
Eastern Standard Time (EST) is UTC-5. Most places on Eastern Time use EST only in winter; from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November they observe Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC-4). People often write “EST” all year when they mean Eastern Time, so check which one is in effect.
Philippine Time (PHT)
Philippine Time (PHT, also written PST for Philippine Standard Time) is UTC+8 all year. The Philippines does not observe daylight saving time. It shares its offset with Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and China.
