the Pronunciation Key is Û (fûrm)
like
cu rl (kÛrl), gi rl (gÛrl), wo rm (wÛrm) and fe rn (fÛrn)
sounds more like FERM (hehehe)

Filipino is the two an adjective and a appropriate noun. For adjective- The Filipino regime For noun- i'm an entire-blooded Filipino (Nationality) who can communicate Filipino (Language) Philippine is an adjective. Adjective- who's the 1st Philippine President? besides the undeniable fact that, in case you place a "s" on the tip of "Philippine" you would be naming the full usa (The Philippines). formally talked approximately as as "Republic of the Philippines".

I'm not Filipino but I've heard the word pronounced as Ferm, Firm, Perm, Phum and its various permutations and combinations.

Well, most Filipinos substitute F with a P and V with a B. Feelings would sound like Peelings and F**k with puck. That's why Filipinos are polite because they can't swear, they simply love hockey.... wink!

I think I pronounce it same as the link.
But a bit of a long "e" rather than a short one. I am a British pretender, you know. Hahahahaha!
