If you are given a power to change the name Philippines what would it be?

Warhorse X asked:


Lets admit it, the name is not native to our country.

It was given to us by the Spaniards in honor of King Philip.

Before the Spanish Colonization, we hardly had a name to our country. Philippines is an Archipelago with Each Island having a name of its own (e.g. Limsawa, Mactan, Sugbu etc…)!

Thailand had change their name from Siam to Thailand!

Just Wondering, I cant even come up a name of my own.

But Andres Bonifacio called this country before Katagalogan (river people)!!
