To synchronize all timepieces across the country’s more than 7,100 islands, the Department of Science and Technology (DoST) unveiled the new “Oras Pinas” in compliance to the Philippine Standard Time (PST). Previously dubbed as “Juan Time”, the Oras Pinas campaign aims to promote the PST nationwide and ‘sync’ timepieces with the PST, the new Filipino Time.

Every year, the DoST leads in the observance of the National Time Consciousness Week (NTCW) pursuant to Republic Act No. 10535 or The Philippine Standard Time (PST) Act of 2013.
