Filipino is a national language, it basically incorporates aspects of the more popular dialects in the Philippines into one language that many people in the country can understand. Filipino is mostly based on Tagalog though due to its wide speaker base with minimal daughter languages, literary history, and being the language of most people in the capital city. Its dictionary is mostly borrowed from Tagalog, with some words from other dialects like Cebuano. It also borrows its phonology from Tagalog. So, while not 100% the same thing, they are very much related and sometimes the words are even used as synonyms.
"You speak filipino?" is same as "You speak tagalog?" because most foreigners only know one of our many dialects, which is tagalog, even though they're actually different.
