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 average cover price for purchasing a romance novel is anywhere from Php 30 – Php 45 (Philippine pesos) or 0.75 CAD – 1.15 CAD. However, renting older titles from sidewalk lending stalls could be as low as Php 5 or 0.15 CAD for a few days’ worth of borrowing time.
