The best time for a call

A 9-to-5 day in New York and one in Manila don’t overlap at all, so somebody has to stretch. The fairest one-hour slot is usually 6:30 AM in New York, which is 6:30 PM in Manila. It asks New York to start about two and a half hours early and Manila to stay about two and a half hours late.

The Philippines keeps UTC+8 all year, so Manila is 12 hours ahead of New York in the US summer and 13 in winter. On paper the office days don’t overlap at all.

In practice, much of Manila’s outsourcing and customer-support workforce works US hours, which is the night shift locally, so a 10 a.m. New York call may suit your team in Manila perfectly well. If they work daytime hours in Manila, the New York evening is their morning.
