The Father, by whom Jesus may mean either the Triune God or one particular Member of the Triune God, is invisible Spirit. But like the wind, which we cannot see but we can see its effects, the invisible Father was working in communion with Jesus to express the character of God, and the effects of that communion was visible and audible and tangible in the words and deeds of Jesus.
So, Philip's experience of Jesus was also an experience of the Father at work in the world. To experience Jesus was to experience a relationship with the Father expressing Himself through Jesus.

Paul really sums this up in the Letter to the Colossians by basically saying if the Invisible God stood in front of a mirror you would see Jesus and if Jesus stood in front of a mirror you would see the Invisible God. He also called it the [same essence and express image\likeness] in the Letter to the Hebrews.
But I try to put myself in Philips sandals here when he asks Jesus this question and gets the reply back that I have quoted. I go to the Book of Acts and see how they "Water Baptized" in the NAME of Jesus. It makes me believe some interesting things. Things I am still working out via the Holy Spirit of God.

Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

The interesting part because as a Jew learning from both the Church and Synagogue is that in the Talmud and other ancient Jewish Chronicles there are excerpts listed that from the Jewish perspective when Jesus said He and the Father are ONE they believe Jesus was claiming that He was the Invisible God as a portion in human flesh.
They teach that trying to prove that Jesus was guilty of Sedition which the penalty was a Death Sentence.
Traditions traditions they are something to learn because it explains why the Jews wanted Jesus dead aside from us knowing it was God's Plan from before the foundation of the earth.

He explained that too. It would have been a very serious charge, to claim to be a king, while Jerusalem had no king and while it was under Roman rule. When questioned about this under Pilate, no basis for the accusation was found.
To the Roman rulers he said>>
“My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish authorities. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.” Then Pilate said, “So you are a king!” Jesus replied, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I was born, and for this reason I came into the world—to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate asked, “What is truth?”
When he had said this he went back outside to the Jewish leaders and announced, “I find no basis for an accusation against him.
But when questioned by the Jewish rulers the reaction was different, and his response was quite different>>
"The Father and I are one.”
The Jewish leaders picked up rocks again to stone him to death. Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?” The Jewish leaders replied, “We are not going to stone you for a good dee but for blasphemy because you, a man, are claiming to be God.”
Jesus answered, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’? If those people to whom the word of God came were called ‘gods’ (and the scripture cannot be broken), do you say about the one whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? If I do not perform the deeds of my Father, do not believe me. But if I do them, even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may come to know and understand that I am in the Father and the Father is in me.”
