The entire world has agreed to use Coordinated Universal Time. That is what we call it now since back in the 1960s. It dates back to the International Meridian Conference in 1884 so it as old as you are.
The entire civilized world runs on UTC. If an event is scheduled to begin at a certain time no one asks if it is some BS time like Tabs time or Monty Python silly time. We all know they mean UTC, or at least anyone with brains and above a grade school ability to read.
The play starts at a certain time, the movies start at a time, dinner reservations are made for a certain time. You can chose to ignore the time, or go with the rest of the civilized world. I would guess the stone age tribes in the jungle use some made up local time and that works for them because they are not invited to the stage play scheduled to start at 9:00 PM.
