I understand this.

Can you elaborate more on this?

I was expecting that when I did the ff:

# ntpdate ph.pool.ntp.org
12 Feb 15:40:59 ntpdate[3094]: step time server 202.92.128.201 offset 
3814728.167216 sec

# date
    Thu Feb 12 15:41:33 PHT 2009

the time displayed will be reflected on the hardware. However, what I've got is 
the UTC-based.

System Time    07:43:50
System Date    Thu 02/12/2009
