on the navy base it would they sell converters send one with it just for safety
2 :
Yes it is. They just need a transformer to step down the voltage to 120 since Philippine have a diff. electrical voltage

Best thing to do is see if the TV you want to buy has a built in power converter. Some can handle both 110 volts (US power) and 220 volts i think is pretty much all over seas. If it does support both voltage then you will just need to get a Plug Adapter because our wall plugs are different .. If it only supports 110 then you will need to get a power converter that will convert the 220 down to 110. Power converters only cost about 20$ I would go with a converter so in case you ever send her something else electronic she will already have a converter and be good to go :) Good Luck :)

In the past, electronic products "voltages" differs from countries and standards ( US, Europe, Asia, etc..). The newer products now, are usually "auto volts" . This way manufacturers can send their products anywhere in the world without worrying about the countries voltage. You can check your TV's specs at the back of the unit if it says Voltage 100V to 240 Volts , then your good to go. As to the frequency, most units also have multiple region and use. Just the same the Phils also uses US standard TV broadcasting so not a problem there.

It will work, but too many complications. Better buy one in the Philippines. The electrical requirements are exactly what is needed in the country. And besides, repair will be easier. The guarrantee exists and can be reparied locally, for free within the time limit. If you bring one from the States - it will another story. Buy one in the Philippines! You can avoid the hurdle of transporting and paying additional expenses.

Most definitely yes!
7 :
It will. Some newer models are dual voltage. Otherwise, a converter, or voltage regulator with a 110 socket included, would work.
8 :
of course it will. but you gotta be careful on the Shipment of the TV. and be sure to buy a TV that can be Plugged on either 110V-220V so your wife won't be needing to plug it on a Power Transformer. good luck!

You need to allow for 100 percent customs duty on the TV. If an item is shipped by Fed Ex or UPS and insured, then the customs price will be the amount of the insurance amount. Customs duty must be paid before item can be picked up. I was going to ship only 5 pounds of stuff from the USA to the Philippines via Fed Ex. The price was $ 240.00. I decided not to ship it. Have you priced the shipping of the TV? Many packages shipped via regular mail from the USA to the Philippines never arrive. They are correct about the voltage converters. Voltage converters are available in every hardware store, here in the Philippines. Philippines is 220 volts 60 cycle, convert to 110 volts. I would recommend sending cash via Moneygram and have her buy a local TV.

everyone is correct the voltage is different and you may need a transformer but it would be better to buy one there no shipping costs ,easier to repair and way cheaper , you can get a real nice set there than you were planning to get overseas wth shipping
