Welcome to Streetprint Manila

Streetprint Manila is a research project that is part of a larger research endeavour called “Six Continents and Between”. Initiated by Prof. Gary Kelly of the University of Alberta, 6CAB seeks to investigate popular print culture across various geographical, sociocultural, and ethnolinguistic contexts. More specifically, it aims to look at reading patterns and preferences of the Filipino Everyman, or those whom we would largely consider members of the “masa” class.

Notes: Pol Medina Jr.'s Pugad Baboy series showcases a group of mostly obese characters amid day-to-day scenarios in the domestic life of the common Filipino. The comic usually spoofs, parodies, and satirizes sociocultural developments in the Philippines through the lives and experiences of its characters. Up until June 2013, Pugad Baboy comic strips appeared exclusively in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, a popular national broadsheet. Medina Jr. decided to resign from the Inquirer after one of his comic strips, which critiqued hypocrisy towards homosexuals in secatarian schools, was pulled from the pages. Pugad Baboy then moved to its current home, Rappler.com, and now appears as a webcomic.
