That would be latin ? I’m pretty sure that’s where “Phillipines” originates.
Comment on Why is 'Philippines' spelled with a PH, but 'Filipino' is spelled with an F?

The only relevant spelling is the original language.
What foreigners are doing in their languages has no meaning. You can spell it however you like, change it every year etc.

Greek name meaning he who likes horses, the name of Alexander the great’s father, then a Spanish King’s who colonized the islands.
Therefore actually spelled with a Φ and the issue being different transliterations of it.
