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.
In pre-colonial times, pagan natives practiced a form of animism, with special devotion to nature spirits called “anitos” or “diwatas”. Much of these pre-colonial religious beliefs have been incorporated into folk Catholicism in a kind of religious syncretism.
