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.
Inspirational books are popular reading in the Philippines as well, as these books combine stories of overcoming adversity with the valuation of faith and belief in the Scriptures. Books such as these, which reflect real-life stories of people who triumph against challenges because of their faith, reflect this.
