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.
Unlike many religious comics circulating in the country, however, these manga are typically written in English and are considerably more expensive. The manga are printed in colour on glossy paper, and are obviously geared towards a higher end market.
