"The official name of the Philippines, however, has changed throughout the course of its history. During the Philippine Revolution, the state officially called itself República Filipina, now referred to as the First Philippine Republic. From the period of the Spanish-American War and the Philippine-American War until the Commonwealth, United States colonial authorities referred to the Philippines as the Philippine Islands, a direct translation of the original Spanish. It was during the American Period that the name "Philippines" began to appear, a name that was officially adopted."

Filipinas = Spanish (Original)
Philippines = Americanized

I prefer the original Filipinas.

I have some experience when my foreign colleague doesnt really know the right word, they use Philipino. It means they're confused. If we roll back the name Filipinas then the mispelling will be avoided i guess.

​para nako mas maayo ang pilipinas kaysa filipinas

filipinas was the original name to be exact Las Islas Filipinas as what magellan name it... maski akong migo nga katsila cant pronounce the Ph rather than F

Thats the worst spelling ive heard so far. But one thing for sure, they wont use F but its P which is more logical to them.
