Time difference between Manila and Vancouver
Vancouver is 15 hours behind Manila
Manila, the Philippines is UTC+8 · Vancouver, Canada is UTC−8 — on standard time
The gap is not the same all year
Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Manila does not change its clocks and Vancouver goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November.
| Manila / Vancouver clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| standard / summer | 15 hours behind | about 34 weeks — most of the year |
| standard / standard | 16 hours behind | about 18 weeks |
Manila stays put all year while Vancouver moves, so the gap changes twice a year from Vancouver's side alone. A recurring meeting set in Manila's calendar will drift by an hour without anyone touching it.
When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Manila and nine-to-five in Vancouver do not overlap at all. With 15 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
