subject: Question on electricity phase

Hi,

I couldn't find a more appropriate message area for this question. If this is
off-topic, please forgive me.

I have 2 surge suppressors that are rated 220VAC at 50hz. I am using these 2
in Singapore. I plan to bring these surge suppressors to my home, the
Philippines. The electricity in the Philippines is also 220VAC, but the phase
is 60hz. My question is: can I still use these surge suppressors in the
Philippines? And can they still provide protection in the Philippines? These
surge suppressors are not special and not expensive. But I would love to be
able to still use these in the Philippines.
