i live in the PI at the moment and building a house.  i am about to do the wiring, but things here suck and are garbage chinese products. ?

As someone who has built 2 houses in the Philippines the answer is NO

With some interest and knowledge of living in PI, then visiting Australia, (they too have no 110 volt, and the hertz is different, too) , I apologize in advance for asking this question: Can you order from Amazon, products for PI use, but manufactured some place not Chinese?  I do remember going to Kentucky Fried Chicken in Olongapo:  Built to American Standards, not PI standards so they used quality wiring and fixtures.  May be talk to places like that, and McDonalds who are sticklers for quality building products where they got their stuff from.

Your use of "the PI" is unclear.  I'm not sure where you mean but it sounds like you are somewhere in Asia - the Philippines?  Looking it up I see that that is a somewhat common abbreviation but this is the first time I, in the States, have ever heard it.  For a moment I thought you meant Prince Edward Island!

They use typical NEMA 1-15, 5-15 outlets and plugs, and what appears to be the Europlug, but you'll have to check on that for yourself.

But the important part is Philippines power is 240v AC.  Do NOT attempt to plug in conventional 120v appliances to that!

I strongly recommend you seek further advice from local folks, they will have the most relevant experience and will be able to guide you better than people not familiar with the territory.

You have just CONCLUSIVELY proved YOU can't safely wire anything. YOU are one of  the reasons countries that use different voltages also use outlets that are PHYSICALLY incompatible.

@James -- you misunderstand the difference between North American 220v and European/Far East 220v.  the European/Far East version has only one phase -- one hot line BUT it is 220v hot to ground.  North American 110v outlets, however, should NOT be used -- they'll fool someone into thinking the outlet is 110v and thus they'll burn out something with the 220v.  Always use the proper devices everywhere.  As the other poster said -- commercial electrical supply houses will have better quality parts -- figure out your needs for the entire house and buy all at once while asking for bulk discount.  {I done a bit of helping with my in-law's 220v system in Indonesia; and lots of DIY in North America.}

No.  The 2 systems are different in countless ways, and designed not to fit for unknown reasons. Even if it works, you might create a hummm, or some other undesirable condition.   You can buy quality materials by getting into the commercial trade and dealing with the supply houses that supply them.  

No you can't use 110 volt outlets on a 220 volt circuit. The 110 comes from one phase of the 220 volts so you need one hot wire from that 220 volt panel and a neutral wire as well. I would not advise putting the hot wire from the 220v circuit where the neutral is supposed to go on the 110 v receptacle. A 220v switch is supposed to have two termination points for the two phases that make up 220 v but a 110 switch will only have one so it would be impossible to get 220 from that
