Officially, of course, Filipinos are categorized as Asians and the Philippines as part of South-east Asia. But describing Filipinos as Pacific Islanders isn't necessarily wrong either. In fact, for a long time, Filipinos were known as Pacific Islanders.
A "continent" is the land area; the Pacific Ocean isn't a land area. The Pacific Ocean separates the North and South America continents from Asia.
Between the Indian and Pacific Oceans is Asia. There is also Oceania, but being a tiny continent Asia is the main continent located between the two oceans.
South of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans is Antarctica. It is the only continent without any permanent inhabitants.
No, the country of the Philippines is a group of Islands just off the Asian continent in the Pacific Ocean.
There is 800,000 Pacific Islanders in the United-States, as well as 7,000 in Alaska.
Around 26,000 Pacific Islanders live in Canada, and 98% of them (25,000), live in British-Columbia.
If a person is Pacific Islander, that means they are literally from an island in the Pacific Ocean. These include islands in Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia.
