A MESSAGE FROM MIKE SORDILLA AND BRYAN TAROSA
To all our families, friends, and Co-Filipinos;
Merry Christmas to you all.
It has been more than a year since we were away from our families, more than a year away from all our friends and loved ones, and its been more than a year that we are held prisoner in this foreign country (United States of America) awaiting trial.
Contrary to the belief of some that we gave other people and company names to be prosecuted here in the United States in exchange of our freedom, these are all not true, and we know how difficult it is to be imprisoned here in this foreign country, away from families and friends, and we never wish for anyone to be in the same difficult situation as we are in right now especially to any of our co-Filipinos.

The Heart of It All: Michael’s Family Life
Born Michael Cris Sordilla, Michael has always led a simple life, grounded life. Taking on the role of breadwinner in the family at an early age, he had always embraced the responsibility of taking care of his five siblings.
Raised by a single mother, he has often spoken with quiet pride about how she carried the weight of their family with strength and grace. In his own way, he did the same—taking odd jobs, selling what he could, and doing whatever was necessary to support his younger siblings’ education. In his tight-knit family life, he developed his sense of responsibility, resilience, and compassion–qualities that would later define not just his personal values, but also his leadership style.
