Yeah that's true. It has been on for months already. But the transaction fee is almost ~30%. Imagine how much you just lost from buying BTCs. Most people in the Philippines prefer to buy from other people that they know has some bitcoins.
how is the fee calculated or u just mean the prices quoted are 30% more expensive
same happens on local bitcoins,
I just checked now, and it seems like the fee was reduced (I think) or was I mistaken about the fee and it was gamex's fee? I know that there's a way to buy bitcoins and the fee is ~30%. Probably gamex, though and not 7-11 of coinsph.
Any 7/11 store
Via mobile load (cash)
Remittance centers
ATM Deposit
Department stores
Online Bank Transfer
... and tellers scattered across the country
I have lots to thank for Coins.ph because it is what allowed me to participate in Bitcoin

which subsequently was also what enabled me to transfer and earn cash online.
I used to buy bitcoin in coinsph by using share-a-load or pasaload even if the transaction fee is almost 10 pesos to 20 pesos. Sadly, mobile load isn't supported by coins.ph anymore.
