Embarked on a journey in the Caimpugan Peatland, unmasking drawbacks and raising awareness (kamalayan). To start with, our objective is to show the detrimental effects of the destruction of Peatlands specifically in Caimpugan Peatlands on Agusan del Sur. We immersed ourselves in the field to discover the dilemmas our locals face and gathered as much information as possible to put together an eye-opener film. Having a glimpse of their reality, we concluded a solution that makes sense. Having little to no information about Peatlands only leads to more human interventions.

"The Twelve" is a pre-apocalyptic vision reminiscent in theme to Hal Hartley's 2000 As Seen By film "The Book Of Life".
