No, Filipinos are not Pacific islanders. They are Asians.
The Italian word for islander is "isolano."
Insulaire is a French equivalent of the English word "islander."Specifically, the French word can be an adjective or a noun. Either way, just one form is used to refer to a female or male islander. The pronunciation will be "eh-syoo-lehr" in French.
The country that someone/ a person of Filipino descent would be from is the Philippines, a country located in Southeast Asia along the western Pacific Ocean.
No, the indigenous people of Guam are not descended from Filipinos. They are called Chamorros. There are two things that should be considered though: 1. Guam, like the Philippine islands, was colonized by Spain. Because of this, we share the same colonial pattern imposed by Spanish culture. In many documents from the Spanish colonial period, Guam (and lesser adjacent islands) was referred to as the Marianas and many Filipinos were exiled there for perceived political offenses by the Spanish colonial authorities. Many Filipino exiles opted to stay in there and presumably intermarried with the native Chamorros. In this sense, it can be deduced that a significant portion of modern Guamanians are of Filipino descent. 2. Chamorros and the different ethno-linguistic groups in the Philippines all belong to a bigger ethno-linguistic group known as Austronesian. The same is true with most Indonesians, Malaysians, South Pacific peoples, indigenous Taiwanese and even the Malagasys (the indigenous people of Madagascar.) From this, we can say that instead of Guamanians being our descendants, they are our "cousins".
A person is considered Filipino if they are a citizen of the Philippines or if they have Filipino heritage. Being Filipino encompasses cultural identity, traditions, language, and nationality associated with the Philippines.

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.
I think this may depend on if the parent you are speaking of actually derives from pacific islander stock, Australia is not considered a Pacific island.
There is no simple answer to this question! Filipinos are an Austronesian ethnic group native to the islands of the Philippines. The Filipino People are of Asian and Pacific Descent, through their Austronesian Ancestors. The Philippine Islands are considered Asian, simply because of their geographic location in Southeast Asia. Their culture is considered by some to be Pacific Islander, however, others claim their culture is unique due to their Austronesian heritage. As for race, the Philippine Islands are known to be one of the most diverse countries in Asia. This diversity includes influences from Spain, China, India, Japan, the Arab nations, and America. The 2010 US Census included the Philippine Islands/Filipino in the Asian category.
The Pacific Islander alone population in the U.S. increased by approximately 153% from 2000 to 2010.
An Aleutian Islander is a native or resident of the Aleutian Islands, an archipelago of around 300 islands in the Pacific Ocean.
