Welcome to Streetprint Manila

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 Religious and The Occult

Filipinos are also quite known for their devotion to the Virgin Mary, who is usually considered to be the most powerful intercessor to Christ. Many Churches and Catholic Schools in the Philippines have special Marian devotion. Some shrines, such as the Our Lady of Manaoag in Pangasinan, Our Lady of Peñafrancia in Naga City, and Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage in Antipolo City, attract tens of thousands of pilgrims every year.
