Philippine Standard Time was instituted through Batas Pambansa Blg. 8 (that defined the metric system), approved on December 2, 1978, and implemented on January 1, 1983. The Philippines is one of the few countries to officially and almost exclusively use the 12-hour clock in non-military situations.
The Philippines uses the 12-hour clock format in most oral or written communication, whether formal or informal. A colon ( : ) is used to separate the hour from the minutes (12 : 30 p.m.). The use of the 24-hour clock is usually restricted in use among airports, the military , police , and other technical purposes.
