Taking a tv to the phils

[Ladybug_sim]

Hi all

Just a quickie, if I buy a tv here in the uk I assume it'll work over in the phils even thuogh they have a different system, don't they? Also does anyone know if a uk PS3 will work over there?

Tip top

Hmmmm...buying tv? if it is ok if you buy something here in Philippines must be cheaper for you than to buy there in your place as it is adding your baggages .. ... well, some more advice come on here ... good luck on it

Most Electronics are generally the same as or slightly dearer than you would find the same item in the UK.

For IT equipment you can buy cheap in the Phils but it's older technology, you will get things like the latest computer memory much cheaper over here.

As for trying to import a flat screen TV into the Phils I think that is a little crazy to be honest A small one in a suitcase will get destroyed in transit and you could be questioned at customs as you enter the country.

Small electronics (latest and greatest) buy in the UK, large stuff buy in the Phils.

I've sent desktop puters and monitors inside balikbayon boxes, got there in one piece, surprised me that they worked. you can get wooden crates to put your tv in, I'll be sending a 52 inch 1080p when I am ready to move over there.

Thanks for the replies folks. I'm wanting to buy one in the uk as we're are 90% emigrating to the phils this sort of time next year, that and I'm bored looking at my old crt tv. I'll put all my gear in a 20 or 40ft container when we go so got no worries about it getting thrown about in luggage or a balikbayon box.
