The IEC website ( http://www.iec.ch/worldplugs/list_bylocation.htm) indicates that the Philippines uses the same plugs as the USA. Which is hardly surprising given their colonial history. North American plugs may be rated at 120v in North America since that is the usual voltage there ba A brief look at a NEMA plug suggests that, unless the plastic is of very poor quality there would be little difficulty quaifying it for 250 volts or higher.
