Travel Tips for Philippines

Voltage Compatibility: Philippines uses 220V voltage. This is higher voltage. Devices from 100-120V countries will need a voltage converter unless they support dual voltage (100-240V).

Adapter Needed: You'll need a Type A or Type B or Type C adapter to plug in your devices if your plugs don't match these types.

Frequency: The electrical frequency is 60Hz. Most electronics can handle both 50Hz and 60Hz, but some clocks and motors may run differently.
