Official languages Filipino and English
Filipino language
Filipino (formerly called Pilipino) is the national language and one of the official languages of the Philippines—the other one being English—as designated in the 1987 Philippine Constitution. The language, a member of the Austronesian languages, is a standardized dialect of Tagalog. It is sometimes referred to as, albeit incorrectly, the generic name for the several different languages of the Philippines.
On November 13, 1937, the First National Assembly created the National Language Institute, which selected Tagalog, the indigenous language with the most developed and extensive written literary tradition (mirroring that of the Tuscan dialect of Italian), as the basis of a new national language. In 1961, this language became known as Pilipino, which was later renamed to Filipino in the 1972 Constitution.

The national language of the Philippines is Tagalog. But there are many different dialects scattered through out the different providences on the many islands.

Not sure they have one. I thought it was tagalog (sorry if I spelt that wrong), or maybe ilango (sorry if I spelt that wrong too).
