INIZIATIVE E STUDI S ULLA MULTIETNICITÀ Cover A4.indd 1 14-07-2009 10:15:42 The research work presented in these reports was carried out within the framework of the project Migrants’ Associations and Philippine Institutions for Development (MAPID), supported by the European Commission through the Aeneas Programme (EuropeAid/124151/C/ACT/Multi) and conducted by the Scalabrini Migration Center in Manila (Philippines), the Commission on Filipino Overseas Workers of the Philippine Government (Philippines), the ISMU Foundation in Milan (Italy) and the University of Valencia (Spain). This project is aimed at enhancing the role of Migrants’ Associations in Italy and Spain and of Government Institutions in the Philippines to act and co-operate in order to promote development in the Philippines. The first stage of this three-year project consisted of three parallel studies conducted in the Philippines, in Italy and in Spain and geared towards the analysis of the general context where to intervene, the definition of the best practices in the field of co-development, the identification of the stakeholders involved and of the institutions to be mobilised and the detection of the main training needs of the latter two in order to promote their capacity to become agents of development. These studies represent the essential groundwork for the implementation of a training program targeted at leaders and active members of Filipino migrants’ associations in Italy and Spain and at policy- makers and key officers involved in migration and development in the Philippines. The above-mentioned activities will be the centrepiece of the subsequent phases of the project. In this volume we will give an account of the study carried out in Italy, and in particular in the areas of Milan and Rome, where the largest Filipino communities are settled. In the Annex we will also provide an overview of the nationwide research carried out in the Philippines by the Scalabrini Migration Center with the cooperation of the Commission on Filipinos Overseas.

Filipinos as Part of the Immigrant Landscape of Italy* a. An Overview of the Immigrant Portrait of Italy It is common belief that the threshold of four million foreigners have been surpassed in Italy during 2008 if we add to legal residents the most available estimation of illegal ones (Blangiardo, 2009). As regard the regular foreign population stock in Italy, whose evaluation can be supported by official statistics, the main instruments usually employed – the records of permits to stay, the municipal resident population registers and the Census – give a wide overview of the trends and the main characteristics of migrants involved. First the Census allows us to follow foreign migration into Italy over the longer period. In fact the 1951 Census recorded 47,177 foreign residents and then 62,780 in the 1961 edition; they reached 121,000 in 1971 and 211,000 in 1981. In 1991, foreign residents numbered 356,000 and in the latest 2001 Census the total was 1.3 million, a figure that had increased fourfold in ten years. According to data on permits of stay – made available by the Ministry of the Interior – in 1971 some 147,000 permits were recorded, in 1981 there were 272,000 and in 1989 the figure had risen to 645,000. In 1990 the number of permits fell to 490,000 after the Ministry removed expired and duplicate permits from the files, but the number rose again to 781,000 the following year as a result of the 1990 amnesty law. Starting in 1992, the National Statistics Institute (ISTAT) revised the permit data and published a more correct quantification of immigration after compensating for the more obvious shortcomings in the Ministry’s records. From 1993, in addition to permit data, the number of resident foreigners according to the municipal population registers was included. The trends in the two data series concur in showing the extraordinary growth of immigration in the last fifteen years: permits have increased 4 times, from 573,000 in 1993 to 2.4 million in 2007, while there are 5.1 times more foreigners on the municipal * This chapter was provided by the Statistical Department of the Documentation Center of the Ismu Foundation.

According to the latest figures on 1st January 2008 there are 3.7 million foreigners legally resident in Italy – of which 3.4 million included into the municipal population register – and nearly 700,000 illegally (Blangiardo, 2009).

    ISO 9001:2008 CERTIFIED NEWSPAPER 31 August 2013 24 Shawwal 1434 - Volume 18 Number 5808 Price: QR2 ON SATURDAY Obama talks tough; Syria strike set WASHINGTON/PARIS: The US made clear yesterday that it would punish Syrian President Bashar Al Assad for the “brutal and flagrant” chemical weapons attack that it says killed more than 1,400 people in Damascus last week. “We can not accept a world where women and children and innocent civilians are gassed on a terrible scale,” President Barack Obama told reporters at the White House. Obama insisted any military action he takes on Syria will be narrow and limited and not an open-ended, long-term com- mitment, nor would it involve US troops on the ground. An attack could happen as soon as today. As he spoke, the US intel- ligence community released a report that said an August 21 chemical weapons attack in a Damascus suburb killed 1,429 people, including at least 426 children. “We cannot accept a world where women and children and innocent civilians are gassed on a terrible scale,” he said, calling the attack a threat to US “national security interests” and slammed the “incapacity” of the UN Security Council to act. Secretary of State John Kerry said it was essential not to let Syria get away with the attack, partly as a sign to those who might consider using chemical weapons in the future. With France affirming its support for a military response to punish Assad’s gov- ernment, the statements from Obama and Kerry appeared to harden the resolve for a US attack despite Thursday’s British par- liamentary “no” vote that left Washington without one of its closest allies.
