Filipino is the "Wikang Pambansa" of the Philippines. Thanks to the Surian ng Wikang Pambansa, Filipino was based from the native Tagalog. There are no differences between the two. They just made another language which is based on Tagalog and renamed it into Filipino.
The skin color of Filipinos is Kayumanggi. Not white, not black. The Black Filipinos are called as Aetas. But mostly, Filipinos are not black. I guess Abs. is not black.
Mandarin for me. I started learning English when I was five so I speak it fluently. I also live in U.S now. Currently taking French at school and trying to learn Japanese on my own.
