Eastern Time to Philippine Time Conversion (EST, EDT, and PHT)

For businesses that operate between North America and Southeast Asia, you may need a quick guide for determining the time on the other side of the globe. This time conversion guide is an essential tool for managers with teams in the Philippines and for Filipino professionals serving clients in Eastern Time.

Eastern Time has two versions depending on the season:

  • EST — Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5) from early November to mid-March
  • EDT — Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4) from mid-March to early November

The Philippines uses PHT (UTC+8) year-round.

Below are three conversion tables you can reference anytime.
