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 interesting aspect here is the diversity of religious paraphernalia, of what can be considered as religious texts. Every kind of prayer book is sold: from prayers for sickness, for health, for love, for studies, for career, for family and many more.
