A Day Among The Religious
Fortunately, I was able to visit Quiapo on its busiest day, Friday, when all of the devotees of the Black Nazarene attend the novena masses. It was one of the most crowded days of the week and the people knew it.

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.
