Does daylight saving change PHT to GST?
Philippine Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+8 offset holds every day of the year.
Gulf Standard Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+4 offset holds every day of the year.
Is PHT ahead of or behind GST?
PHT is ahead of GST by 4 hours: when it is 12:00 pm in Philippine, it is 8:00 am in Gulf. Neither Philippine Time nor Gulf Standard Time observes daylight saving, so the abbreviations never change and the gap between them is fixed.
Philippine Time covers Manila, Cebu and Davao. Gulf Standard Time covers Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Muscat. The identifiers behind them are Asia/Manila and Asia/Dubai, which is what any calendar or scheduling system should be storing rather than a fixed number of hours.
