For most itineraries from Manila to Tokyo booked on a single Singapore Airlines ticket, we check your baggage through to Tokyo at Manila, so you do not need to collect it in Singapore.

Manila operates on Philippine Time (UTC+8) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Tokyo uses Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) and also does not observe daylight saving time. This means Tokyo is consistently 1 hour ahead of Manila throughout the year.
