What is the best way to convert Bitcoin to Pesos in Philippines?

I am using Coins.ph right now. But the fees and exchange rate is way too different from those
of the exchanges. Hope someone can suggest some alternative which i can try. Thank you!!

I am also using the same site to convert bitcoin to pesos and there is no problem actually in converting bitcoin to peso. You can automatically convert it to peso without any fees and can cash out it to BPI or security bank to avoid fees.  Most of the problems with coins.ph is that there is a huge gap between the buy and sell values and also the transfer fee of bitcoin to other site is really high. Well there are ways to solve this issue and that is you need to wait for bitcoin to increase the value before transferring that way your interest from the volatility will cater the miner fees.

I'm using Abra and P2P exchanges from the people I personally knew through Facebook. Used to buy from coins.ph via Unionbank but thought of something new and the fees are indeed high. I even created an account in FB just to join a private group that buys and sells bitcoin at current market rates. Abra is a good alternative in buying bitcoins, but for converting to fiat, coins.ph is still the king, at least in my opinion.

We live on the same country , what i suggest is keep it as on altcoin like etherium because the fee on etherium is really low if youre going to make some investment of course that accept etherium , but if you want to keep it as a bitcoin use other exchanges too like poloniex or other to keep your bitcoin the fee their is low

What is the problem with using coins.ph in converting bitcoin to peso? You can directly convert it without paying conversion rates, right? I've been converting btc's using coins for a long time now and I don't see any problem with it. Hm. Maybe you are referring to buying bitcoin?

I am also using Coins.ph. I found it userfriendly and during cash out I prefer banks because transaction is free. As of now I do not encounter any problem using it. It is safe.

I've only used coins.ph myself. I don't have a large network anyway that is also into bitcoins so I can't send them btc when I need cash.

Coins.ph is fine, I even use it to pay bills and buy load. The one thing people complain is the spread. Guess it need more competitors.

I am using Coins.ph as well and don't have any problem using it, and It has a fast withdrawal of bitcoin through the use of eGiveCash or Security Bank card less withdrawal, But I am using another wallet to make sure that I keep a percentage of my bitcoin for trading purposes I only use Coins.ph for withdrawing purposes, I think keeping a multiple wallet just to be safe if one of your wallet had been hack

I think coins.ph is what almost everyone in the Philippines is using.  Are there any competitor other than Abra who we heard of recently?
I like coins.ph, transactions are fast and cash-in and out are easy.

I just send it to my savings account so I can withdraw through ATM. As for saving, I have my long term holding in Electrum. Bitcoins I'm earning are stored away in different online wallets. If I earn anything, that's when I send it to coins.ph.
