Any advice would be greatly appreciated
I recommend going for the 1/144 HG and HGUC lines or any of the larger 1/100 NG or HG kits. For a first kit, i'd say to go for something easy to snap together and around or just under php1000.
For now, i would advise to try staying away from kits that have lots of gimmicks, like extending cannons, folding wings, transformation sequences and other reasonably complex and involved stuff. Just the basic mecha kits will be fine for now. I would suggest these from the HGUC series for first-time builders:
Zaku-II (F2, FZ or C-type variants)
GM Type-C
RX-78-2
Dom Tropen
RX-0 Unicorn mode
Acguy
GM Command
Gelgoog Marine
RX-178 mk.II Titans
Gouf Custom
For the place to get them, stay away from the ones sold in department stores. Your nearest hobby shop should have them at much lower prices.
