Hello, I want to start investing in Bitcoins. I want to buy bitcoins in BTC-e since it is the cheapest compared to other trading platforms.

But I live in Philippines. I don't have US Bank account. I only have Local bank account here in Philippines.

What should I do? Is BTC-e the best trading platform? I hear a lot of trading platforms that were hacked so I want to avoid those shady sites.

Coinbase looks good and secured but it's too expensive to buy from them.

Please suggest me some options.
