No working hour fits all three. The fairest is 7:30–8:30 pm in US (Central), 7–8 am, next day in India, 9:30–10:30 am, next day in Philippines. No hour fits everyone’s 9 am to 6 pm. At the closest fit, US stays 2½ hours late, and India starts 2 hours early.
Is there an hour when all three are awake?
No. There’s no hour when everyone is between 8 am and 10 pm, so someone always takes the call early or late.

Yes. Kept at 7:30 pm in US (Central), it lands at 7 am next day in India and 9:30 am next day in Philippines; then 6 am next day in India and 8:30 am next day in Philippines over the year, as each place changes its clocks on its own date.
