About this 2024 list
What do these frequencies count?
The Philippine Statistics Authority infographic says frequencies were determined using exact matches only, and that the figures are based on registered births in 2024.
Is this the same as the longer name lists?
No. This page is babies registered in 2024. The longer lists are the civil registry as of May 2021. A name can be high on one and missing from the other.
Is there a rank for every year?
No. The 2024 list includes two notes about names that stayed at the top for several years. It does not give a rank for each year.
