Margielyn Didal, a skater from Cebu, has won again after taking first place in the Exposure 2022 Street Open Pro Division on October 22–23 at the Encinitas Community Skate Plaza in Los Angeles.

Second and third-place winners were Wenhui Zeng, nicknamed ZOE, and Ricci Tres.

The skateboarder from the Philippines took first place in the September Mass Bali Women's finals.

She also took home the prize for best trick at the Red Bull Manny Mania competition and the Red Bull Solus competition in July of this year.

Didal has won before in competitions sponsored by Exposure. In 2018, she also triumphed in the Street Pro competition. 

She finished second place in the Exposure Street 15 and Up Division in 2019. Exposure held a video component competition in place of an in-person event in 2020 during the pandemic. 

Didal took second place in that competition.

Exposure is a skateboarding competition for women, transgender, binary, and other gender-nonconforming people that was founded in 2012.

The yearly event was founded to challenge cultural standards, boost the media's portrayal of a strong female, transgender, and nonbinary skateboarders, and raise awareness of domestic abuse.

Proceeds from the event are donated to a nearby shelter for victims of domestic violence.

The Community Resource Center's Domestic Violence Program receives the event's proceeds (CRC).

The group also hosts learn-to-skate clinics, community service learning, and wellness education in addition to the annual Exposure competition.
