What if your favourite is not here?

It means this published top-ten list does not give its count. It does not mean zero births or prove the name is rare. We do not estimate the missing figures.

Exact spelling matches only. Figures are based on registered births in 2022 and include babies born in the Philippines whose mother's usual residence is a foreign country. The optional third value is the previous-year rank printed by PSA. It is not a previous-year count. These are the published top-ten lists, not complete name-frequency distributions.
