What it means for your plugs
Your plugs
Your Australian plugs won't fit. The Philippines has three kinds of socket (Type A, B and C), and no one adaptor fits them all. Pack a Type A adaptor (two flat pins) and a Type C adaptor (two round pins). Between them they fit every one. Type A and C pins have no earth, so only plug in chargers with two pins.
The power
The power is 230 V, close to home, so a converter isn't needed.
- Type A: two flat pins
- Type B: two flat pins and a round earth pin
- Type C: two round pins
