Kapuluan instead of Philippines
The words "Philippines" and "Filipino" are obsolete terms associated with Spanish subjugation. The islands once colonized by Spain under King Phillip II are now their own independent nation free from monarchial rule. It is time we amplified our own localized national language and call ourselves based on our own merits. How about we start normalizing an authentically Filipino word to describe our nationality? Kapuluan in Filipino means "archipelago". Kapula roughly translates as "from the islands".
