On power, you are in luck: both Canadian outlets and the Philippines's use Type A, so many of your chargers should fit as-is. Voltage differs too (230/400 V there versus 120/240 V, 120/208 V, 347/600 V at home), so check for a dual-voltage label before plugging in. Full plug and voltage guide for the Philippines.
