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.
Because religious learning and catechism are important parts of education in the Philippines, there is a slew of books that are geared towards a younger audience. These usually contain simplified versions of the Bible stories, adaptations of narratives, or stories about how to demonstrate Christian values.
