Answer 3

Clarification.

Some of these "dialects" are languages, especially the ones with literature and with a huge number of speakers. If these are dialects, where did these branch out? Tagalog? Cebuano? Not really. Tagalog, developed to what is now the Filipino language, is just an official language/the national language. But there are other languages, aside from English and the dying Spanish, in the Philippines.

Bicolano, Cebuano, Ilocano, Hiligaynon, to mention a few, are languages. These are not dialects because these languages have dialects on its own, have literature, and have depeloped independently from other Philippine languages. Linguistics say that these languages have unique syntax, vocabulary, etc.

The Pilippines is geographically fractured (islands, mountains, etc.), thus, contact with different ethnic tribes during and before the Spanish colonization had been very minimal, resulting to the development of languages, not dialects. There is no mother language in the Philippines, Tagalog did not influence Bicolano or Cebuano in such extent, Tagalog only influenced such rightfully called dialects we have now in Batangas, for example.  

Answer 4

Each island has a different dialect, not language.
