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.
The Philippine Bible Society has its head offices in Ermita, a major commercial, financial, and cultural district in the city of Manila. PBS also runs the country’s biggest Bible museum, which contains displays of rare and novelty editions, walk-throughs of Bible history, and life-sized figures and scale models, among others.
