From Philippines to Angola

Some plugs match

When travelling from Philippines to Angola: Some of your Philippines plug types fit in Angola (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.
