About the time in Central
Central sits at latitude 7.56, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 19m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:27 and sunset at 05:46 local time, giving 12h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (7.56, 126.56) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Central.
Clocks in Central stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +8 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Philippines.
