Manila is the capital of the Philippines, with a population of about 1,600,000. It uses the Philippine Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Manila).
Manila does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+8 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Cebu City.
Because Manila lies at 14.60° N, 120.98° E, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 13 h 00 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 16 min.
