A2: No. There is no rule requiring all the songs be labeled specifically as "Filipino" or "Tagalog". Each article is decided by case by case, based on the reliable sources describing the song. While Wikipedia follows the General Notability Guideline (GNG) and Notability for Songs (NSONG) and Albums (NALBUMS) guideline determine whether a song merits an article, the language label itself is based on verifiability. If reliable sources describe a song as "Tagalog" or "Filipino", the article should follow the terminology used by those sources.
