Not the slightest, I'm afraid!

Before considering any technical changes, I think I would want to start
by ensuring that this is the clear consensus of both existing
translation teams (consulting translation teams in other projects if
necessary).  My understanding is that Filipino is the standardized
variety of Tagalog, but the fact that e.g. ISO 639 treats them
separately, and things like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipino_language#Filipino_versus_Tagalog
which suggests that they are very close but not identical, lead me to
suspect that there may be differences of opinion on this matter of the
sort that we generally try to avoid getting dragged into as we're not
well-equipped to adjudicate them.  It would not be the first case where
we have multiple very similar languages registered and translated
separately.

Title:
  Remove/Merge filipino (fil) translation as its a duplicate of tagalog
  (tl)

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New

Bug description:
  Filipino (fil) is listed as one of the languages to translate the
  ubuntu installer, but you can't select it in the installer, while the
  Tagalog (tl) language is listed and unfortunately more people have
  added translations to Filipino rather than Tagalog. To eliminate this
  duplication, the work done in Filipino should be copied into Tagalog
  and Filipino should be removed.
