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.
It was a place that can compete with any library with regards to the number of readers. The priest, reading a book about John the Baptist, literally and figuratively spreads the Word. It is the text that everybody gets to hear, even those who are not inside the Church, even those who are not Catholic.
