Italian-Filipinos (Italian: italo-filippini) are Philippine citizens of Italian descent, regardless of ethnolinguistic affiliation, and including, but not limited to, mestizos. They are usually distinguished from the general population by their deep-set eyes, concave nose structures, and skin tone ranging from very pale (but rarely reddish) to brown, as is the case with mestizos and those of southern Italian descent. At present, they can be found primarily in the southern areas of Metro Manila bordering on the provinces of Laguna and Cavite.
