Filipino Italians are Italians who are either migrants or descendants of migrants from the Philippines. Filipinos form the fifth-largest migrant community in Italy, after the Romanian, Albanian, North African communities and Ukrainians.[1] Italy is with the UK also the joint largest European migration destination for Filipinos.[2] The Italian capital Rome and the city of Milan is home to the largest Filipino community.[2] Roughly 108,000 documented Filipinos reside in Italy as temporary workers or permanent residents, and estimates on the number of undocumented Filipinos vary widely from 20,000 to 80,000.[2][3] In 2008, ISTAT (Istituto Nazionale di Statistica), Italy’s statistics office, reported that there were 113,686 documented Filipinos living in Italy whereas the number had been 105,675 in 2007.[4]

Filipinos today

63% of Filipino Italians are women,[2] and they mostly work as domestic assistants.[1] The Filipino Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) says that Italy allows 5000 non-seasonal/regular workers, up from 3000 in 2007.[5] The DOLE said that the change was "a sign of appreciation of the good bilateral cooperation with the Philippines in migratory issues."[5] There are approximately 60 Filipino organisations in Italy, most of which are church-based, although there are several cultural and civic groups as well.[6] One of such groups is the Filipino Women's Council with the aim of educating Filipino women migrants about their rights and lobbying on their behalf.[7]

In 2007, Italy gave Filipinos with a Filipino driver's license a free Italian driver's license.[8]

Remittances

In 2007, Filipinos in Italy sent the equivalent of US$500 million back to the Philippines, making it the fourth-largest source of remittances after the U.S., Saudi Arabia and Canada.[9] The town of Mabini in Batangas has extensively benefited from Italian Filipinos; the town has the most former residents living abroad than any other Filipino town or city.[10] Most of those living abroad work in Italy, and a section of Mabini today that has large homes built from remittance money is named "Little Italy".[10] However, due to the economic slump in 2008, remittance money from Italy grew at a much slower pace than usual.[11]
