The Philippines was not united as one country before the Spanish, and so the islands each had their own names. There were a lot of dialects between the loosely organized groups of indigenous peoples, and so probably each island had several names!
I hope that helps, it's hard to find good information on the Philippines before Spanish influence. Partially because the Spanish didn't really care about the culture that existed when they got there and partially because although the Tagalogs had a writing system they wrote mostly on leaves and other perishable materials that did not last for us to study today.
I hope that helps!
