    1. Hello James, You probably know this already, but just in case, BitPinas is not Buybitcoin.ph. We are a website that covers bitcoin and cryptocurrency news in the Philippines and not affiliated with SCI Ventures, the owners of buybitcoin.ph.

      Regarding your query, I was in a similar situation before. What I did was contact them on messenger system within their website. Maybe that will work? Coins.ph also has a downgraded customer service support performance ever since bitcoin skyrocketed, they are probably experiencing it too: https://bitpinas.com/news/how-cryptocurrency-companies-in-ph-will-handle-rising-bitcoin-demand/
