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.
Many Filipinos, especially those from the older generations, still believe in numerous superstitions, which probably explains the conflation of religious and occultic beliefs, as well as the continued popularity of items that represent such beliefs.
