Is Angelita a common name in the Philippines?

I was just wondering because the only other females I ever meet that share my name are always from the Philippines. If so, do you know how it became so popular there?

Is Angelita a common name in the Philippines?
Yes, you're right. Angelita is a common name in the country but as to how it became so, I don't have any idea. Probably because most people are Catholics and Angelita comes from the word "Angel". Or, it could have evolved from a long time TV series on Channel 9 (RPN) entitled "Ang Mga Maga Ni Angelita". You know how Filipino mothers love to adopt names for their child after a star or a "bida".
