When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in São Paulo and Cebu City don't overlap on the same weekday. Cebu City is 11 hours ahead of São Paulo.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 7 AM–9 AM in São Paulo (6 PM–8 PM in Cebu City) — suggest 8:00 AM São Paulo (7:00 PM Cebu City).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
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.
