Here in Poland, Filip is a tad overused, and I don't really like its sound.

I agree that Philip looks better, but acknowledging the fact that not everyone uses English pronunciations and spelling, Filip is nice too.

In Romanian I think it is Fi-LIP.

I've never liked this name spelled with an "F" especially for a boy. It looks girlish (like Filipa) to me if it's spelled "Filip." Philip is a much better spelling and looks more masculine.
In 15th-century Bulgarian legend, the name "Filip" connoted a man who had the gift of prophesy. Common techniques included the spinning of dogs to indicate prosperity or misfortune.
