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.
A recurring article among these magazines involves a feature story about celebrities’ homes. Typically, there will be a photo essay about celebrities’ new houses or apartments, with coverage of every room in the household and their contents and décor. Alongside the photo essay will be a story about the featured celebrity’s rise to success, and his or her lifestyle. (Image courtesy of www.sydrified.org)
