Remarks	In the English, Philippines locale, all given names are parsed into the Given Name token. When there are two family names, the first family name is parsed into the Middle Name token.
Remarks	Parse definitions named with the Global keyword use a set of output tokens that is consistent across every locale. Results obtained from these definitions can be stored in the same database fields as the results obtained from definitions of the same name in other locales.
