coins.ph is not a bitcoin wallet, it is more like a bitcoin account. it has some features of a wallet obviously, such a letting you send and receive bitcoin. but you have been doing it through a third party. it is something like Coinbase!

if you want a bitcoin wallet then use a bitcoin wallet.
if you want the benefits of a full verifying node then install bitcoin core.
if you can't and want a light (SPV) wallet then choose Electrum.
for cold storage you can use bitaddress.org for creating paper wallets
and for hardware wallets you can use Trezor.

Coins.ph is an exchange wallet, but its true it can hold bitcoin just like any exchanges but no control because you don't have the Private Key. So in an event of a hack, most likely you will lose all your bitcoin or PHP on coins.ph. Although there's no history as of yet of a hack on them, but its better to keep your coins in wallet like Bitcoin Core or Electrum. Here (https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet), try to educate yourself and see what wallet fits your need.

If you have any worthwhile amount, I would highly recommend a hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger. Personally I have the Ledger Nano S, and I only keep some small amounts (few hundred bucks total) on exchanges, because those are not safe ways to store anything long-term.

A wallet to hold your bitcoins is not the same as an exchange wallet which is what you just explained you are using in purchasing them from coins.ph which is exactly that.
A temporary place to have them before you send to a real bitcoin wallet so to hold it long term and not just a spot where to start their journey off from.
On to the next hop would be a bitcoin wallet such as blockchain.info is the original one.

there are a lot of nice wallets to store your bitcoin, and because I am from Indonesia, so I'm more comfortable using bitcoin VIP Indonesia.

or you can choose blockchain, but its only to receive and bitcoin only, no other features.

you can also use xapo and coinbase.
please you choose a bitcoin wallet that you feel comfortable.

I use both Bitcoin core and Exodus as the two local wallets to store my Bitcoins. Bitcoin Core is the heaviest on computing time and resources as it stores the entire chain on my computer. Exodus is a lite wallet and just hold the balances and keys but it does give me the opportunity to trade easily with other coins that it supports. Always keep a hardware backup of your wallet and private keys and if applicable seed phrase in a secure location. You never know when you might need it to recover your funds.

I am more comfortable with using xapo, because the security level is good. if we will log in to the xapo wallet, we have to use the code sent to our number, so only we know the code to open the wallet.

and for other wallets, I also prefer to use ledger nano. simple and can be taken anywhere we want.

This comment clearly stated what you need to store your bitcoin safely, also you can use a external storage called nano ledger this will allow you to maximize the security of your bitcoin. Do not store all of your bitcoin to coins.ph this platform are getting a huge fees in transferring and buying bitcoin you should use coinbase.

For BTC I prefer blockchain.info wallet. For ERC-20 coins - myetherwallet. For other coins I use wallets from official website of criptocurrency

Coinsph is an exchange wallet, so far so good in using this wallet for directly converting bitcoin into fiat money but the cons here is you are not holding the private key. If you are doing some transactions daily or weekly you can use blockchain wallet. If you just want to hold it for long term better to use a hardware wallet like trezor or ledger.

Don't choose any New wallet to store your cryptocurrency, You can use the CoinBase wallet for your Bitcoin Because its a Most secure wallet at this time after creating a wallet must enable 2-factor authenticator feature.

But coinbase is also like coin.ph the exchange which provides the wallet service annd 2FA security maybe increase the security level but it also not completely secured.
The best wallet is the wallet which can provide us the private key access then we have the full access to our bitcoin so no one can steal our money without the private keys.

Electrum I think is the best wallet to used and this is probably the best thing to use especially where you are today.

Electrum is the best wallet especially in your country where you are now

I suggestion to use hard wallets. In hardware wallet private key is store in hardware and it is very difficult to hack.and security is also good. If you lose or broken your device you can restore your cryptocurrency by using recovery cards soo use a hardware wallet

Number 1 recommendation would be to use a hardware wallet (either a Trezor or Ledger Nano S). This is the safest & most secure option available at this time.

If you're unable to get your hands on a hardware wallet, then I suggest the BRD wallet (https://breadapp.com/ (https://breadapp.com/)) for mobile or the Exodus Wallet (https://www.exodus.io/ (https://www.exodus.io/)) for desktop.

Avoid exchanges unless you are planning to day trade. Always keep your crypto in a wallet where you hold the private keys.
