    The Macbook will operate on 100-240 Volts and 50-60 Hz, so it will work just about anywhere in the world.

     

    You will not need a voltage converter, but you will likely need an adapter for the wall plug. Not sure if this in Apple's Adapter Kit or not.

    Assuming you're in North America now, you probably won't need any sort of plug adaptor there; most sockets in the Philippines are the same as those in North America. In case you do, it doesn't contain the correct adaptor.

     

    Voltage conversion is handled by the MacBook without any additional components.
