Little is known about its history so I suggest also going to the link provided by the first answerer. All Philippine languages, including Tagalog, may have branched off from a common Proto-Philippine language. Striking similarities between the languages give the clue. The /euh/, /ee/, and /o/ [suffix] sounds may have come from the proto /euh/ (retained in Ilocano, Pangasinan, Kankana-ey, other Central/Northern Luzon languages). It branched off, and further separated into /ee/ (Tagalog), northward, and /o/ (Sinugboanon, Ilonggo, etc.), southward. Example: "Food" Pangasinan: "kanen" Tagalog: "pagkain" Ilonggo: "pagkaon" "Do [to]" Pangainan: "antoen" Tagalog: "anhin" Sinugboanon: "anhon" Tagalog's history is learned alongside the history of its sibling languages. One language cannot be picked up without touching the others. Some cognates: "No" Pangasinan: "andi" Tagalog: "hindi" Bikolano: "dai" Sinugboanon: "dili" "Two" Ilocano: "dua" Pangasinan: "duara" Tagalog: "dalawa" It comes from "Proto-Malayo Polynesian", where Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Indonesia, and all the other Philippine languages come from.

All Philippine languages, including Tagalog, may have branched off from a common Proto-Philippine language. Striking similarities between the languages give the clue. The /euh/, /ee/, and /o/ [suffix] sounds may have come from the proto /euh/ (retained in Ilocano, Pangasinan, Kankana-ey, other Central/Northern Luzon languages). It branched off, and further separated into /ee/ (Tagalog), northward, and /o/ (Sinugboanon, Ilonggo, etc.), southward.

Example:

"Food"

Pangasinan: "kanen"
Tagalog: "pagkain"
Ilonggo: "pagkaon"

"Do [to]"

Pangainan: "antoen"
Tagalog: "anhin"
Sinugboanon: "anhon"

Tagalog’s history is learned alongside the history of its sibling languages. One language cannot be picked up without touching the others.

Some cognates:

"No"

Pangasinan: "andi"
Tagalog: "hindi"
Bikolano: "dai"
Sinugboanon: "dili"

"Two"

Ilocano: "dua"
Pangasinan: "duara"
Tagalog: "dalawa"

Apparently, very little is known about the history of the language. Have a look at the website below. It will give you a lot more information than I can.
