[edit] Why PHT and not PST

Understanding that an edit on Philippine Standard Time says that it is abbreviated as PHT and not PST, we should still stick to the official abbreviation. I'm also assuming that PHT stands for Philippine Time. For the time being, I'll re-add the PST abbreviation and remove the original comments. I'll post them here.

The edit is as follows:

PST stands for Pacific Standard Time. It has been widely accepted in multilingual and multinational systems that PHT is the correct abbreviation. While the DOST's PAGASA uses PST, it creates massive confusion among users.

Hopefully that's considered. --Akira123323 ^{Say what? | Track record} 15:51, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

That link is kinda pointless and has bad popups when you navigate there. I say remove it. Eagleapex 18:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DST in the Philippines in 1990s

While it's true that there were power outages in the early 1990s, Daylight Savings was not practiced anywhere in the country during that time.
