[comp.sys.mac.misc] mac's and phillipines power

Hi:  I have an off-the-wall question I am hoping someone can help me with.
Some friends are moving to the Phillipines at the end of next month, and
are hoping to bring an old Mac (I think it's a plus w/ an external hard 
drive).  Anyway, does anyone know what the power situation is in the
phillipines?  We believe it is 220V, but is it 50 or 60Hz?  Also, if the
power is 50hz, is there some type of converter or maybe even a switch on
the Mac someplace to change the input power to 60hz?

Thanks in advance.  Please no flames.  If there are other places which this
should be posted to, please let me know.  Also, if possible, please e-mail
the replies to garyf@ncsa.uiuc.edu.

Thanks,
