Manila is 13 hours ahead of Chicago

There is no standard 8-to-6 overlap. Someone joins early or late.

Don't expect an easy slot here: Chicago and Manila are 13 hours apart, with no overlap across conventional business hours. A shared overlap of zero doesn't mean zero collaboration; it just means leaning harder on documentation and clear ownership. Bear in mind Chicago shifts for daylight saving while Manila stays fixed — recheck these hours after each clock change.
