EN: Filipino (person or language)
Can mean two things: 1) The dude from the Philippines (the male equivalent of Pilipina). 2) The OG name for the national language before it rebranded to 'Filipino' to sound more inclusive. Using 'Pilipino' today can feel a bit retro, like calling a flight attendant a 'stewardess'. Most people just say 'Pinoy' for the person and 'Filipino' or 'Tagalog' for the language.
From `Pilipinas`, which is from Spanish 'Filipinas'.
This term can be ambiguous. The 1987 Constitution officially designated the national language as 'Filipino'. 'Pilipino' now often refers to the Abakada-based Tagalog language promoted before 1987. 'Filipino' is the preferred term for both the people and the language in modern, formal contexts.
