But the time will come especially when those non-Tagalogs themselves lose the inhibitions to use Filipino so that they will contribute words that will become part of the national language. If this happens, perhaps, calling the national language of the Philippines as Tagalog will then be forgotten. The change in attitude towards Filipino and calling it Tagalog will not simply disappear.

Filipino is & it is based on Tagalog & borrows words from other common languages such as English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, German etc. The reason it is the basis for the national language is because it is the language of the capital & most people around the Philippines know it. It hasn't got the largest native speaking contingent but it has the largest overall speaking contingent. Tagalog isn’t the national language.
