How do Filipinos pronounce the word “frappe”?
I have noticed that Filipinos pronounce the word "frappe" in different ways. Some say "frapp," while others pronounce it as "fra-pay." Can anyone shed light on the reasons behind these variations in pronunciation? Are there any regional differences or influences that contribute to how this word is spoken in the Philippines?

Frappe is "fra-pey".
Some would shorten when ordering a Frappuccino and would just say "frap". BTW, Frappuccino is a registered trademark of Starbucks. Perhaps this is what you heard and what others mean when they say "frap"
Frah- pay! (with a long "A" sound)
Frappe--->Chilled or partly frozen, specifically Beverage
Frah-pay' is correct. It should be the prononciation used by everyone, including Filipinos.
Inadvertently, some say it as "PRRRAH-FHEY"
Cracks me up every time.
Remember back when pinoys used to pronounce the brand name "Porsche" as "for-shayyyyy"?
I pronounce it as /frap/.
I don't know if it is the correct pronunciation.
