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.
Today, romance novels in the Philippines continue to enjoy massive popularity. While developments in technology have created new platforms for presenting romance texts (see the section on Wattpad), traditionally published romance texts are still being bought and circulated, a testament to their enduring popularity and mass readership.
