220 V
60 Hz
In Philippines, they use power outlets and plugs of type A, type B and type C. The voltage is 220 V, and the frequency is 60 Hz.
You will need an adapter for type A and C power outlets in Philippines You will need a voltage converter as well.In Philippines, power outlets are of type A, B and C, similar to Canada. A plug adapter is required for type A and C outlets. B outlets are compatible with your plugs, although they aren't always common in some areas.
Your plug B does not match outlet type A.
Your plugs match outlet type B.
Your plugs A and B do not match outlet type C.
Bring a grounding adapter to use your three-prong type B plugs in two-prong type A outlets.Since you'll need a travel adapter for Philippines when coming from Canada, we suggest opting for a universal power adapter that works in many countries and will also prepare you for future trips.
Make sure to get a power adapter for outlets of type A and C. If you often go abroad, consider getting an all-in-one adapter (most adapters even have additional charging ports for USB-A and USB-C). Since you also need an international power (voltage) converter to keep your devices protected (more info further down), getting a combo power adapter/converter might be the best solution.
Philippines operates on 220 V with a frequency of 60 Hz, while Canada uses 120 V with a frequency of 60 Hz. You need a voltage converter for devices from Canada because they are typically designed for 120 V, and using them with Philippines' 220 V system without a converter could damage your device.

60 Hz220 V60 HzA voltage converter is necessary to safeguard your devices in Philippines.A voltage converter keeps your electrical devices from Philippines running properly by adjusting the power to the right voltage. Without it, your devices could overheat or get damaged from the wrong power supply. Since you need a travel adapter as well, a combo power (voltage) converter with adapter features might be a good choice.
To confirm, check if your devices require a voltage converter by looking at the 'INPUT' label, typically found on the power adapter or charger. If the label shows "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz," the device is built to handle different voltage and frequency ranges, meaning you’ll only need a plug adapter for the outlets in Philippines. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.
No, you will need a voltage converter. Canada uses 120 V, while Philippines operates on 220 V, which could cause your hair dryer to burn out or overheat without a converter. Although the frequency is different (60 Hz in Philippines), the primary issue is the voltage difference.
Yes, most modern laptops and smartphones are designed to handle a voltage range of 100-240V, so you won’t need a voltage converter in Philippines.
No, you will need a voltage converter to safely use your Canadian curling or flat iron in Philippines. The higher voltage (120 V vs. 220 V) can damage the device, and the different frequency (60 Hz) might cause performance issues like uneven heating. A voltage converter is necessary.
Yes, when traveling from Canada, you will need a power adapter for type A and C power outlets in Philippines.
Yes, you will need a voltage converter for devices that only support 120 V, as Philippines operates on 220 V. Devices like laptops and smartphones that support 100-240V won’t need a converter, but a plug adapter will be necessary. The frequency difference (60 Hz vs. 60 Hz) generally won’t affect modern electronics but may impact older devices with motors or timers.
See if your power plugs from Canada fit into the sockets of other destinations and whether you need a voltage converter.
