@Miodec As per the discussion here:
#1103

@Killer8Hyper brought it to my attention, and he has valid points indeed. The Filipino words are tricky also since they have subtle variations. But, I think could be mainly grouped as formal and informal variants. Formal is more in the contexts of formal writing, and the informal more in the context of social chatting. And I agree that it's better to use the formal variants also so that Filipinos will not forget their original forms. Aside from that, we avoided:

  • words with punctuation (e.g. pag-ibig)
  • words with capitalization (e.g. Diyos or Pinoy)
  • duplicated/similar words

Special thanks to @Killer8Hyper for helping with the improved list. This makes it conform better with other Top 200 Words list.
