Manila is 12 hours ahead of New York

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

New York and Manila sit on opposite ends of the clock — a 12-hour gap leaves no common business hours to work with. Lean on recorded updates, shared docs, and clear handoffs so the 12-hour gap doesn't stall progress between meetings. One seasonal catch: New York springs forward and falls back, but Manila doesn't, so the gap changes by an hour for several months of the year.
