Tagalog is one of the languages of the Philippines. Filipino is the national 'language' of the Philippines. (According to the current 1987 Constitution of the Philippines, English and Filipino are official languages.)

Filipino is largely built on Tagalog but includes many words from other Filipino languages like Cebuano. According to linguists, a dialect is a variant of the same language. So technically, Filipino is a dialect of Tagalog. Hence, Tagalog is practically the national language of the Philippines.
