Note
A regular -s plural that only ever means people. The language Filipino is uncountable and the adjective takes no plural, so Filipinos always names citizens, inhabitants or their descendants. Because the singular can be specifically male, the feminine Filipina (plural Filipinas) is sometimes used for women, while Filipinos covers mixed groups. An older meaning, Philippine-born men of Spanish descent, is historical and now obsolete.
