Thanks, made it easy. I kind of thought all that was true but it’s nice to get confirmation from someone actually over that way, the internet is not always correct.
It depends on the voltage that your device takes. If your device can take 110-220V you should be ok. Most phones and most laptops have it where it can accept both voltages. For clarification, the Philippines is in that 220-240V range. The U.S. is in that 110V range. If your device is only for 110V, it will fry. Read the labels on your device like I show in the video above. If you know that the voltage is ok and the plug fits, you should be fine. And my disclaimer, if you blow a fuse, fry your device, burn the place down, or mess something up that is on you. I take not responsibility for it. Good luck.
It's only a problem when pluging in devices with exposed metallic parts (these need to be grounded) they can't plug into these wall sockets anyway. the Philippines have 2 variant wall sockets with or without ground. just like Europe had in the past before each country phased out the ungrounded wall sockets over time

I am traveling to the Philippines from the US. I need a power adapter that will work for my Iphone 13mini, Macbook Air, and powerbank, and electric razor. What power adapter will be appropriate?
check the voltage it can handle on the charger. If it says "100-240v @ 50-60 hz", then you can safely plug it in without any issues and you don't need a voltage regulator
The problem is I have some things brought from USA that require 120 v. and have not yet found a converter in Philippines that will convert to 120v. only 110. So anything requiring 120 is not going to work.
Philippines uses 60Hz. th-cam.com/video/WLK3cmcOYPs/w-d-xo.html US hairclipper plugged into voltage converter and it works. Using it in 50Hz countries like Japan 100V, Jamaica 110V, both are 50Hz, it will create loud buzzing sound. You can convert 50Hz to 60Hz using 100 - 240V AC to 12V DC 6.5 A car plug adapter and 115V 60Hz 75w inverter for your US hairclippers
Matt Renzo Tabada Need a voltage converter. If on 50Hz country like Japan 100V 50Hz (East), Jamaica and Barbados 110V 50Hz, Europe 230V 50Hz, need an 75W inverter and 7.5A 12V car plug adapter to 100V - 240V.
For clarification, the power strip that I blew the fuse was one that was only rated for the U.S. so it was 110 and I plugged it in to 240 so it blew the fuse. There was nothing actually plugged into the power strip. Thankfully.
Hello i have an ac adapter for xbox 360 and it came from the us, at the back of the ac adapter it says input ac 100-127V~3.29A, 47-63hz And output dc 120W 12. Can i just plug this in the Philippines with just a universal adapter? Hope you notice...
It will probably get fried. The electricity voltage in the Philippines is 220V. Looks like yours says 100-127V which is for the US and Japan because they have 110V. Double check everything though. I am not an electrician.
"universal" (Chinese Export-Only) Death outlet @ 0:12 ("fits" all but really fits one correctly) in the Phillipines with the same unholy holes contraption as the famous Death-Dapters (lethal junk) you show @ 2:24 ... having a 200-250V outlet accepting plugs intended for 100-120V is a bad idea , especially in a hotel etc. (not all devices like it) ... also this bestec converter contraption @ 1:56 is suspicious ( & buzzes @ 3:04 ) , it looks like having 3-pin earthed input , 3-pin output for a buch of earthed USA-plugs (each 15 amps) , but only has a 2-pin unearthed Europlug that is just suitable for 2.5 ampere ... How to do it right: Hotel 200-250V: install German (recessed) / French (recessed) / British outlets ... Hotel 100-127V: install USA earthed outlet (Type-B , get "just" a 100-127V zap from the US-plug instead of 200-250V) ... Travel-adapter: use a save one , like the swiss "Skross Pro world" (expansive but good) , up to 6.3 Ampere (note: 10 Ampere on "Skross Alpha" , even more expansive but excellent) ... Converter: ether fully earthed or not earhed at all ... & forget converters for higher wattages (like hairdryer) ...
I don't think, regardless of country, any American A and B plugs and sockets should be ised for 220. That's dangerous for people who don't know better and then there's potential for accidentally hooking the wrong thing to wrong socket. And universal outlets are inherently dangerous for a number of reasons.

3:24 I recommend the OMNI or Royu Extension cord. It may look power strip, but it's different it's using some universal.
Thank you so much!!!
I’m leaving in two weeks to Philippines and really needed this info!
Mate thanks for making this video I was scared to plug in my MacBook Pro and Lenovo laptop. Now it works
Jeff!!! Wow randomly ran into this video! I was looking up the topic!!
Haha! Awesome! Hopefully it helps.
Huge help. Great info!
Wow, I was thinking it was 220 it’s 240. 👍
Thank you for that info much appreciated!
Check out my volt and hz meter tested here in the Philippines. Mostly used Japan Chinese 2 pin flat outlets
Thank you sir.
If the Philippine outlets accept the same prongs as we have in the U.S., do we need a plug adapter at all?

What did you end up using? I'm heading to Manila at the end of the month

useful info vlog, thanks!
Sorry, I don't remember if I had something on it.

I think 110 and 120 are close enough.
No not close enough to run
Japanese 100V too.
115V is the middle. Philippines uses 230V.
I have a clipper that 115V sir so is it right that i will use a 250V ? Coz Im from philippines
Matt Renzo Tabada Need a voltage converter.

60Hz not 50Hz.

why did the power strip blow up the fuse? Did you have something on it?

all those chinesium adapters from about 2:10 onwards need to go straight in to the bin, they are dangerous
That’s 2.5A 4.0mm Europlug. Chinese US flat plugs can handle up to 6A.
