From " Pilipinas " to "Filipinas": The scholars vs. the general public! The word "Pilipinas" was a coined word and has no historical justification, but it is the name that most Filipinos have gotten used to. The word "Filipinas" was our name in the past and has solid historical reasons for being our name, but only the scholars know this. Should scholarship be more important than public perception? Is language subject to democracy? You tell me.
