[SOLVED] Safety options for a non-grounded home?

[xtannn]

Hi!
My house is not grounded, just like almost all of the houses where I live. So all my outlets are just two prong outlets.

My current setup includes an extension cord that claims to have surge protection plugged directly into the wall outlet (Philippines 220V 60Hz), and plugged into it are the system unit (550W PSU), monitor, and 2.1 speakers, sometimes I also plug other things into it like stand fans and phone chargers.

What are the best options that I can do immediately to improve my and my components' safety? I will have the house properly grounded in the future but it might take some time.
I was planning on buying a good quality surge protector to replace my extension cord, I know the surge protection won't really work on a two prong outlet but I thought that at least the materials used inside would be better. However, I read that using it on a two prong outlet would actually cause more harm than good. I also thought of buying a UPS, but I read that it might actually be bad for the PSU if they're not "compatible", also, I don't really need its main functionality, I only want to improve overall safety.

Just wanna ask for advice and suggestions, thanks!

There is nothing that can replace grounding but since you are in a house you can improvise easy and cheaply.
You could run single wire connected to a metal water pipe (use hose clamp) or to a piece of metal pipe about 1 meter long driven into ground nearby.
