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.
While not like traditional comic strips or graphic novels, these children’s books rely heavily on graphics and illustrations to complement otherwise simple and easy-to-understand stories. Most of these children’s books are also bilingual, having both English and Filipino text on its pages.
