    Because Spanish sponsored explorers colonized the country in the 14th century and named it Las Islas Filipinas. Henceforth, the people of this country became known to the rest of the world as Filipinos/as. But the Americans colonized the country after WW1 and Anglicized the name to Philippine Islands. Philip for Felipe. In English, you would use Philippine to describe anything that originates from the country except for the people. Some do depending on their language. Philippinians is a mouthful, don't you think? Philippinos would not sound correct either. (Intricacies of a mixed language) Anyway, I am not a language expert. A lot of people are confused with this and so are a number of Filipinos. You might have met some Filipino people who say Pilipino (P instead of F). The Philippine alphabet did not originally include 'F' in the alphabet. So in the country, the people say Pilipino and the country is Pilipinas. So in English, we say Philippines for the country and the people Filipinos/as.

    It depends on what part of Central Luzon. But you could always use Tagalog anyway (The major Philippine dialect.)

    It's called Ulupong. or Kobra.
