Does daylight saving change KST to PHT?
Korea 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 KST ahead of or behind PHT?
KST is ahead of PHT by 1 hour: when it is 12:00 pm in Korea, it is 11:00 am in Philippine. Neither Korea Standard Time nor Philippine Time observes daylight saving, so the abbreviations never change and the gap between them is fixed.
Korea Standard Time covers Seoul and South Korea. Philippine Time covers Manila, Cebu and Davao. The identifiers behind them are Asia/Seoul and Asia/Manila, which is what any calendar or scheduling system should be storing rather than a fixed number of hours.
