PHT to PST Conversion Guide

What is PHT to PST Conversion?

PHT to PST conversion helps you translate time between Philippine Time and Pacific Standard Time. PHT is UTC+8 and remains constant year-round with no daylight saving time. PST is UTC-8 during Pacific standard time (November-March) and PDT is UTC-7 during daylight saving time (March-November). The time difference is 16 hours during PST period and 15 hours during PDT period, with PHT being ahead.

Time Zone Information

Philippine Time (PHT): The unified time zone for all of the Philippines. Always UTC+8 throughout the year with no daylight saving time changes.

Pacific Standard Time (PST): Used on the US West Coast during standard time. UTC-8 from first Sunday in November to second Sunday in March.

Time Difference: PHT is 16 hours ahead of PST during winter and 15 hours ahead of PDT during summer.

Daylight Saving Time Impact

PHT Consistency: Philippine Time never changes and does not observe daylight saving time

Pacific Daylight Time: PDT observed from second Sunday in March to first Sunday in November when clocks are set forward

Date Line Crossing: Due to the large time difference, PHT is typically the next day compared to PST/PDT

• During PDT: subtract 15 hours from PHT to get PDT time (usually previous day)

• Best meeting times are PHT morning (9 AM-12 PM) which aligns with PST evening (5-8 PM previous day)

What People Often Get Wrong (and How This Tool Gets It Right)

“Is it PST or PDT right now?” The tool knows. It checks the calendar and applies the right offset, whether it’s summer or winter.
“Why is the date different?” A 15 or 16-hour difference can shift the date back in PST. This is normal and shown clearly in the results.
“I need to convert from Pacific to Philippine time.” Just swap the zones with one button, and you’re set.

A Real-World Example

Let’s say you're running a webinar from the Philippines and want participants in Canada’s WEST coast to join live. You set it for 10:00 AM PHT on August 20. That becomes 7:00 PM PDT on August 19. This tool not only gives you the correct result instantly, it also adjusts for that seasonal shift automatically, so you're never caught off guard by a clock change.
