Filipinas is both the Spanish and Filipino name for the Philippines. The people are called Filipinos in English, Spanish and Filipino, but many Filipinos still prefer to call themselves Pilipino and their country Pilipinas.

@Sammilita Just a note: This ? should only be used after a question. I realize you don't mean any harm but the reason I'm pointing this out is it comes across as being rude and/or condescending in some cultures especially when used in a certain context. Some people may misunderstand you

Maybe its not, Filipinos are the English term of Pilipino. To recognize PINAY calls for women, PINOY for MEN.
