YES BECAUSE PHILIPINES HAVE SPECIAL OXYGEN THAT THE LAPTOP NOTICES IT AND DETECTS IT IS IN PHILIPINES AND THEN IT EXPLODES, DONT TRY THIS AT HOME

Electronics in the US work everywhere... the only thing that you need to do is buy a ac to dc adapter so that you can plug it into their wall sockets. Thats all.... every computer works worldwide :-) Enjoy your time there!!

I have a Dell laptop that I took there without any problem. Just check the "brick" on the charger and it should say something about "input voltage". If it says 100 - 240V then that means it can handle anything in that range so either 110 (like the US), or 220 (like Philippines) will be ok. If it does not say that - then you would need to go to a local hardware store in the Philippines and get a transformer for about $10 to change the current from 220V to 110V.
