The national language of the Philippines is Filipino (Tagalog) 🙂 Filipino people speak / understand English generally well, as it is the medium of instruction in most schools (although not everyone can speak Tagalog or English fluently).
There are also many regional languages ( dialects ) used across the nation (which could be a result of the country, being an archipelago or group of islands). 😉 Dialects spoken differ from region to region, and even provinces to provinces.

@phinformaticagab We have a lot of languages but not everyone can speak it or is fluent on it. It depends on the region/locality and our exposure to the language. We have Tagalog, English and Bisaya; even spanish in some regions. And I’d say almost everyone in our country knows english and can understand it but not everyone is fluent on it.
