Yup! There are a lot including: Kultura (Culture), Gwapo (Handsome), Pamilya (Family), Fiesta (Feast), Tsino (Chinese), Hapones (Japanese), Numero (Number), Eskwela (School). The spellings may be different but the pronunciation's all the same. Actually, there's a complete listing of Filipino loan words in wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_loanwords_in_Tagalog Hope that helps!
