There’s a blind spot in our American history books ignoring the 260,000 brave Filipino fighters of World War II, who fought under the U.S. flag, and so heroically and tragically sacrificed so much for our country — yet we don’t remember them. To add to the tragedy, the benefits they were promised for fighting for our country were taken away once the war was over. To this day, it’s a black mark on our country…all derived from prejudiced attitudes 80 years ago — yet we still have not fixed the problem. In this three-part series — I not only dive into this story — but also uncover my own family’s history. My own late grandfather was a Filipino World War II hero — yet he never talked about it. I bring my audience along as I learn — not only about the contributions and sacrifices of these brave Filipino heroes -- but also the legacy my grandfather left behind.-MG Montemayor

Many know Philip Vera Cruz as a labor leader, a community activist, and icon of the Pilipino American experience whose name (along with Larry Itliong) is given to public schools and freeway bridges. His work helped create the United Farm Workers Union and shaped the modern union movement. But few know him as a poet.
After arriving in the United States in 1926, Philip Vera Cruz encountered the hardships and struggles experienced by working people in America - long hours, little pay, no voice or power, and no opportunity to better improve your position in life. He saw workers facing abuse and exploitation, and witnessed the broken hopes and dreams of so many of his fellow workers and immigrants. He wrote his feelings into his poems. One of those poems, “Profits Enslave the World” became an eloquent testament of his experiences in America, expressing his feelings about the struggles he experienced as an immigrant and a farm worker in the United States.
In 1973, “Profits” was put to music by Chris Bautista, a young Bay Area musician and community activist. The song became an anthem amongst many Pilipinos of the time who were organizing around many issues, including Ethnic Studies, Tenants Rights, the Anti-Martial Law movement, and the Farm Workers’ Struggle. For many, the song connected them with the generations of organizers who came before.
