In both the Philippines and Mexico the main language is Spanish, taking it that is what you mean when you say these are "Mexican" and "Philippine" names. In any case, they would be Spanish names.

Arnulfo: (m) Considered a Spanish version of the German name Arnold. It means "eagle power"(Click on Arnold to learn more)
This one is a very classic(perhaps even old fashioned) Spanish name(I mean from Spain the country and Spanish the language which is spoke all over Latin America, among others)

Marisela: (f) Compound name. Contraction of the names MarĂ­a and Isabela.
This one is an up-to-date name, recently created, do not no how recent but will dare to say around 20 years at the most.

I had to clarify, it really gets to me when people can't tell the difference in between cultures and languages...

Hope this helps,
