Best overlap: 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Manila is 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Edinburgh.
4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Manila is when Edinburgh is also working, at 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM their time. The overlap is tight at roughly 2 hours, so protect it: 4:00 PM in Manila / 8:00 AM in Edinburgh is your safest recurring slot. Watch the DST gap — when Edinburgh changes its clocks and Manila stays the same, this window slides by an hour.
