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: Alamat ng Gubat is Bob Ong's fourth published book, and is distinct in that it is a single narrative as opposed to his usual style of anthologizing multiple narratives. It is an allegorical story about Tong, a crab in search of banana heart that could cure his sick father. As with Ong's other works, the narrative is a satire of Filipino society.
