I think this entry should not be together with the old Indic scripts,
it should be separate from them.  Especially if you intend to add more
scripts/languages used in the Philippines.

I wonder whether we should call the language-environment "Tagalog".
Why not "Filipino", which AFAIU is the official language name?
Perhaps also for the input method.
