People of Filipino descent make up a large and growing part of the State of Hawaii's population. In 2000 they were the third largest ethnic group and represented 22.8% of the population,[3] but more recently, according to the 2010 United States Census data indicates they have become the second largest ethnicity in Hawaii (25.1% in 2010), after Whites.

According to the 2000 Census, the state of Hawaii had a Filipino population of over 275,000,[4][5] with over 191,000 living on the island of Oahu;[5] of those, 102,000 were immigrants.[6] Furthermore, Filipinos made up the third largest ethnicity among Asian Pacific Americans,[7] while making up the majority of the populations of Kauai and Maui counties.[8] In June 2002, representatives from the Arroyo Administration and local leaders presided over the grand opening and dedication of the Filipino Community Center in Waipahu.[9] In the 2010 census, Filipino Americans became the largest Asian ethnicity in Hawaii, partially due to the declining population of the state's Japanese Americans.[10] In 2011, four percent of all Filipino immigrants in the U.S. resided in the Honolulu metro area, and were 43% of all immigrants in the Honolulu metro area as well. Filipino immigrants in Hawaii made up six per cent of all Filipino immigrants in the United States.[11]
