Manila to Phoenix Time

Manila (Philippines) is a major hub for BPO and customer service outsourcing, with key industries in business process outsourcing, electronics assembly, agriculture, and remittances. Phoenix (United States) is a global financial and tech hub, known for technology, finance, healthcare, and entertainment. With a 15-hour time difference, professionals frequently schedule cross-border calls between these two cities for international trade, remote team collaboration, and client meetings.

Scheduling Meetings Between Manila and Phoenix

With Phoenix 15 hours behind Manila, there is minimal overlap in standard business hours. Most teams alternate meeting times to share the burden of early-morning or late-evening calls fairly. Philippine business hours are typically 8 AM–5 PM, and many BPO firms run night shifts aligned with US hours. US business hours typically run 9 AM–5 PM, with a culture that values punctuality and efficiency. Consider recording meetings for those who can't attend live, and use shared documents for async collaboration.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

Neither Manila nor Phoenix observes Daylight Saving Time — Manila stays on PST and Phoenix stays on MST year-round. This makes scheduling between these two cities simpler, as the 15-hour time difference remains constant throughout the year with no DST surprises.

PST (PST) stands for the timezone used in Manila, Philippines (UTC+8). MST (MST) is the timezone used in Phoenix, United States (UTC-7). Manila is 15 hours ahead of Phoenix.

To convert PST to MST, subtract 15 hours from PST time. For example, PST 9:00 AM = MST 6:00 PM (previous day).
