The short answer is that the Philippines use Spanish names and parts of Africa use French names. The "Spanish" and "French" usages don't cover only Spain and France.

That being said, I do try to note cases of uneven regional usage, either by applying a modified category like "Spanish (Latin American)" or by writing about it in the name's description. I've employed the latter strategy for Scholastique and Teresita. The reason I haven't applied a modified category to those names is because Scholastique and Teresita are not unheard of in France and Spain respectively, though they are rare.

If there are Spanish names which are significantly more common in the Philippines than elsewhere in the Spanish cultural sphere, then please let me know I can make changes for the next update.
