Best Answer

Experts indicate there are more than 5,000 Spanish loan words that are now part of the Tagalog language from Agente through Tricilo. Bodega, Escuela, Guapo, Guerra, Estudiante, Calle, Coche, Cuento and more have joined the language. In many cases the spelling is different in Tagalog than that of Spanish. Wikipedia has an article on Tagalog loan words that includes a Spanish section.

The English spelling for "Philippines" follows the Latin alphabet and the Greek roots, hence the use of "Ph," whereas "Filipino" uses the Spanish spelling with an "F."
