Vera Cruz moved to the united stated in He worked a multitude of low paying jobs up and down the west coast. He found that the farm work in California was more difficult than the work he did back in Ilocos. Filipinos especially farm workers experienced violent racism.

Vera Cruz settled in California where he became involved with the National Farm Labor Union (NFLU) based in Delano, Ca in 1950.

Vera Cruz’s primary work was in the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC) which comprised of Filipino farm workers.

On September 8, 1965, the Delano local decided to strike against the grape growers. Grape growers tried to bring in Mexican laborers as strike breakers. NFLU members including Philip Vera Cruz and Larry Itliong met with Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta of the NFW to discuss a collaboration between the two organizations.

The NFW joined the NFLU a week after the strike began. The two unions became the United Farm Workers (UFW) in 1966 and continued to strike until 1970.

Philip Vera Cruz served as second Vice President on the managing board. The highest position held by a Filipino in the UFW. Vera Cruz left the UFW in 1977 because of political differences with Chavez
