I (American) spent about a month in the Philippines and traveled around a bunch by scooter on the main island. I don’t recall having to use something special to recharge my phone or my battery bank.
It’s an amazing country with amazing people. You are in for a treat. The language is kind of complex for me but luckily a lot speak really good English and I had no problems communicating. Finding vegetarian food was the most difficult part during my stay.
Reach out if you have any questions or want to know more!

My wife is from Manila. Can’t wait till we can go!
What do you think about retiring there? Not going to have much at the end of my working days, planning to take her home and live out our lives there.

its underrated as a spot for english speakers imo as its of the very short list of countries where you can go to and freely converse with some of the population, as english is one of their primary languages, but culturally be very distinct.

Somewhat related, a growing trend is to offshore English-speaking customer service roles to the Philippines. They have lighter accents and lower pay compared to Indian firms which is attractive to American business.
