Cabo Verde to Philippines: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

If you're heading to Philippines from Cabo Verde, it's worth checking the power situation before you pack. Different countries use different outlet types and electrical standards, so your devices may not plug in directly when you arrive.

Good news: Cabo Verde and Philippines share compatible plug types (Type C). Your existing plugs should fit directly into Philippines's outlets without any adapter needed.

The voltage and frequency in Philippines (220V, 60Hz) are close to Cabo Verde (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Don't forget that Philippines hotel rooms sometimes have a universal shaver socket in the bathroom, but these low-wattage outlets aren't suitable for high-draw devices. For reliable charging, use the standard wall outlets with a proper adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not necessarily. Both countries support Type C plugs, so your devices should fit Philippines's outlets directly.
