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.

Of Love and Romance

The success of Precious Pages has inspired other publishing houses to put up their own romance novel series. Even bigger companies traditionally known for publishing more literary works have published romance novels, such as Anvil Publishing. In some cases, some university presses have even put up their own, such as the case with the short-lived Green Cupid series published by the De La Salle University Press.
