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.
Translations of Mills & Boon and Harlequin romances, popular international romance novel series, are also being sold in the Philippines. While one can find original English editions of titles from these series, Filipino translations are strongly gaining a foothold because of their accessibility to a greater market.
