Filipinas or Las Islas Filipinas is the original name of the Philippines given by Spaniards when the colonized the country.

When the American rules the land, they change it into Philippines or The Philippine Islands or simply Philippines for short.

Pilipinas or Isla ng Pilipinas is the tagalog translation of the country's name.

There's nothing much difference between them, it's just a matter of Language translation.

On the other hand, Filipina (Filipinas - female) and Filipino (Filipinos - male) are the citizens of the country Philippines (Pilipinas) which will soon be called officially back to the original name Filipinas.
