I will be traveling to Philippines this March and will be bringing my Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop.The volt here in US is 110, in the Philippines I believe it's 220V. The laptop charger input is 100-240 volt. So can I just hook the charger plug directly in the transformer or do I still have to buy some kind of universal power surge. Thank you.

i bought my laptop at bestbuy 110-240v ....been using my laptop here for 6 months...plugged staright. no adapter...if your'e just traavelling --- 2 weeks or so, no need to buy adapter. i think the reason they made the voltage 110-240 is because people with notebooks usually use it when they travel.
i would advice only to buy transformer for other stuffs. but my notebook, dont use it. i have a hair flat iron that is 110-240v too.

Your charger should be enough, just buy an adaptor because the outlets/sockets in the Philippines are usually shaped differently from those in the United States. Buying a transformer would mean that you will have to lug an extra weight wherever you go, and that can be very inconvenient if you don't have a car. A transformer can be really heavy, as you probably already know.

I agree with RottenDog, it would be best to buy a universal power surge so that you can use other 110v electronic devices here. A wall adapter for the outlets here are a must as well; most wall sockets are in the Philippines are in this shape--> =
The adapters aren't expensive; you can buy one here at a hardware at a mall for 30-50 pesos, which is 1US$ or less.

The charger should handle the voltage, but you'll need an adapter to fit the wall outlet.
If i were you, I'd get a transformer anyways, so you can use other 120 volt stuff there.

Your charger is enough for power supply but you need to buy a universal plug adapter that fits into 2-holes.

The answerer above me is real. The Philippine customs won't difficulty to envision your keep on bag (laptop). however the departure ports from the U. S. and different stopover ports could examine till now you board your flights. they could could desire to allow you do away with your laptop out of your bag. this is real in Hong Kong, too in case you will take Cathay Pacific. each and every ports have diverse approaches. while departing from the Philippine ports, the secure practices won't difficulty examine your returned. they in simple terms pass it real x-ray machines.
