Agricultural Worker

Filipino laborers were recruited to work in Hawai'i and the United States in the early 1900s.  They had short term contracts.  Their work was tough requiring long hours and demanding physical activity.  Fieldwork was back-breaking and stoop labor. But they were tougher.  Workers like Pablo Manlapit (1891-1969), Chris Mensalvas (1909-1978), Philip Vera Cruz (1910-1994), Carlos Bulosan (1913-1956), and Larry Itliong (1942-1976) helped to organize laborers in the Hawaii and the United States.
