Outlets there

in the Philippines

Type A outlet (NEMA 1-15)
Type C outlet (CEE 7/1)
Type B outlet (NEMA 5-15)

230V, 60Hz

Leave the adapter at home

Your Type A and B plugs fit outlets in the Philippines, so your chargers plug straight into the wall.

Check your device labels

Home is 120V, the Philippines is 230V. Phone and laptop chargers marked "100-240V" work anywhere. Single-voltage gear like hair dryers and straighteners needs a converter, or a dual-voltage travel version.

Some outlets here take US-style flat-pin plugs but supply 220-240V, not 120V. Only plug in devices labelled 100-240V.

120V60Hz

230V60Hz

Voltage converter

Only for single-voltage gear like some hair tools. Phone and laptop chargers don't need one.

Only for single-voltage gear. Skip it if everything you pack says 100-240V.

Look for

  • Rated above your device's wattage
  • Steps the voltage the right way
  • Thermal cut-off

Your packing list for the Philippines

Everything to sort before you fly from Bermuda.

  1. No plug adapter: your plugs fit the Type A, C, and B outlets in the Philippines.
  2. Check the label on each charger and appliance for "100-240V". Anything rated for 120V only needs a converter or a dual-voltage replacement in the Philippines (230V).
  3. A power bank in your carry-on, not your checked bag. Under 100Wh needs no airline approval.
  4. One multi-port USB-C charger, so a single outlet charges everything.
  5. Some outlets here take US-style flat-pin plugs but supply 220-240V, not 120V. Only plug in devices labelled 100-240V.

Worth packing on any trip

Small things that make long travel days easier, whichever outlet you end up next to.

Power bank

Keeps your phone going on travel days. Carry it on; airlines ban power banks from checked bags.

Look for

  • Under 100Wh (about 27,000mAh)
  • USB-C in and out
  • Watt-hours (Wh) printed on the case

Multi-port USB-C charger

One dual-voltage charger for phone, laptop and watch, so you need one adapter.

Look for

  • 100-240V input
  • Enough watts for your laptop
  • Two or more USB-C ports

Long USB-C cable

Hotel outlets are rarely next to the bed. Two metres reaches.

Look for

  • 2m long
  • Rated for your charger's watts
  • Braided
