What is the time zone of the Philippines?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. UTC plus 8, with no daylight saving
- Step 1: The country only uses a single time zone, at an offset of UTC+08:00, but used daylight saving time for brief periods from November 1, 1936 until July 28, 1990. Answer: UTC plus 8, with no daylight saving. Why not the others: None of these fit: UTC plus 5:30, with no daylight saving; UTC plus 9, with daylight saving; UTC plus 7, with daylight saving.
