Offset

The time difference between Central Time and Philippine Time is 13 hours.

13 hours

Central Time (CDT) is behind Philippine Time (PHT).

CDT: UTC-5

PHT: UTC+8

Central Time is currently observing daylight saving time; Philippine Time is not.

When to schedule

Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Central Time and Philippine Time don't overlap on the same weekday. Philippine Time is 13 hours ahead of Central Time.

With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:

  • 6 PM–8 PM in Central Time (7 AM–9 AM the next day in Philippine Time) — suggest 7:00 PM Central Time (8:00 AM Philippine Time).

This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.

This window may shift by an hour during daylight saving time.

Public holidays in 2026

National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
