All plug-ins would work, as long as it is 220V.
2 :
The power output in the Philippines is 220, US appliances run on 110. Better have a portable step-down transformer handy if your digicam runs on 110.

If your battery charger can accept 220V 60Hz (which most can; it should say somewhere on the device), you should be fine. (Usually, it will say 110V-240V or something like that on the label.) Most of the Philippines uses the two flat prong outlets, which fit US-style two-prong plugs without the need for an adapter. If your device has a three-prong plug (the two flat blades plus a grounder) you will need to get an adapter.

they will burn out real fast, we have 220 voltage in the Philippines, believe me I have got lots of experience with this.

some socket for the plugs in hotels in Manila doesn't work for square or round end plugs. I reccommend you bring an adaptor or buy one from any hardware (Ace Hardware preferably, located at most SM Malls). Cost os 20-50 pesos. see this picture: http://img.alibaba.com/photo/202057118/Travel_Power_Adaptor_Socket_Plug.summ.jpg

i live in antipolo and just like any city or town in the philippines we have the same power output , buy first an adaptor and if your charger would be able to plug into a 220 v 60 hz power ( see the specs on your plug) then it will work out fine , btw outlets are configured similar to this I I ....
