EN: Filipina; a female citizen of the Philippines
More than just a label, she's the embodiment of 'Laban!'. Whether she's a CEO in Makati, a nurse in Dubai, a lola cooking adobo, or a BPO agent on the night shift, a Pilipina is known for her resilience, resourcefulness, and a smile that can disarm anyone. The modern spelling is 'Filipina'.
From `Las Islas Filipinas`, named after King Philip II of Spain. The 'P' is used instead of 'F' based on the traditional Abakada alphabet.
The modern and official spelling is 'Filipina', reflecting the updated Filipino alphabet which includes the letter 'F'. However, 'Pilipina' remains widely used and understood.
