Best Answer

Filipino is the recognized national language of the Philippines.

It is based on the Tagalog language that is spoken in the main island of Luzon.

When the question of a national language came up, the decision was to go with Tagalog as more people spoke it. But there were complaints from Visayan-speaking Filipinos.

To prevent the 'feud,' a neutral term (Filipino) was created. But it's the same as Tagalog.
