DST in Philippines 1990 etc.
I saw an article about the plans for implementing DST in Philippines, that claims that Philippines had DST last time in 1990: http://story.philippinetimes.com/p.x/ct/9/id/145be20cc6b121c0/cid/3e5bbccc73 0d258c/ Also, regarding the upcoming Nicaragua DST, there is an article that specifies the date and time it will start, while not being specific about when it will end: http://www.elnuevodiario.com.ni/2006/04/26/nacionales/18036 It claims that DST will start 2006-04-30 at 2:00, and will last until the end of august (without being more specific).

Yes, this sounds like the earlier story that I mentioned <http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=politics02_april26_2006>, except there it sounded like it wasn't true DST, but was simply the government urging businesses to start their workday earlier. Without further details I guess we'll have to leave the data as it is.
http://www.elnuevodiario.com.ni/2006/04/26/nacionales/18036 claims that DST will start 2006-04-30 at 2:00, and will last until the end of august (without being more specific).
Thanks for the heads up. I don't know where that article got the "August" from, since the actual announcement from the president's office doesn't say "August". http://www.presidencia.gob.ni/Presidencia/Files_index/Secretaria/Comunicados... Still, any guess is better than no guess, and I suppose we can guess the first Sunday in September at 02:00.
