Does daylight saving change JST to PHT?
Japan Standard Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+9 offset holds every day of the year.
Philippine Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+8 offset holds every day of the year.
Is JST ahead of or behind PHT?
JST is ahead of PHT by 1 hour: when it is 12:00 pm in Japan, it is 11:00 am in Philippine. Neither Japan Standard Time nor Philippine Time observes daylight saving, so the abbreviations never change and the gap between them is fixed.
Japan Standard Time covers Tokyo, Osaka and the whole of Japan. Philippine Time covers Manila, Cebu and Davao. The identifiers behind them are Asia/Tokyo and Asia/Manila, which is what any calendar or scheduling system should be storing rather than a fixed number of hours.
