Southern Tagalog Exposure is an independent multimedia collective of young artists and workers based in Southern Tagalog (Region IV) in the Philippines. They are an independent media collective whose works delve into the struggle of socially disadvantaged minorities as well as the resurgence of a resistance and liberation movement in Southern Tagalog. ST Exposure appropriates digital video/film as a medium to advance social change by arousing the larger society on pressing issues concerning the marginalized and underserved sectors. The film screening will include public tv announcements, experimental video shorts, documentaries and a music video.

"RIGHTS", a collection of public service advertisements, is an initiative of the Free Jonas Burgos Movement and Southern Tagalog Exposure. RIGHTS seeks to promote awareness about the continuing human rights abuses, extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances in the country. On Sept. 18, three days before it's scheduled premiere at Robinson's Galleria Indiesine, RIGHTS was given an X rating by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), effectively banning any form of public exhibition. The MTRCB views the films in the collection as "unfair, one-sided, and undermines the faith of the people in the government and duly constituted authorities" .
Red Saga

On April 21, 2003 a human rights Quick Reaction Team (QRT) was abducted by suspected elements of the 204th infantry Bridage in Naujan, Mindoro Oriental. A reenactment of the events that led to murders of the leaders of the QRT, KARAPATAN-ST Secretary General Eden Marcellana, and KASAMA-TK Chairperson Eddie Gumanoy.
