Electrical plugs in the Philippines

[pacificelectric]

Hi Folks,

I will probably bring my camera battery charger to Davao and was wondering whether the Phils had a specific type of plug like UK or USA? I have a multiple adaptor but I would be interested to find out in advance!

Thanks for your replies!

I've read that in some places in Philly the voltage is 125..but mostly 220..

seems there is a risk your charger may get damaged really..

Shouldn't be a problem using it as most equipment like chargers are multi-voltage nowadays anyway.

And if if it wasn't it shouldn't cause damage putting a lower voltage into it, it just may not work properly.

I used a UK origin shaver, laptop, camera charger + MP 3 charger, as well as an Israeli origin laptop, just using an adaptor, locally bought. No problems whatsoever
