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.

Presently, Liwayway still publishes literary pieces and comics, though perhaps not as critically acclaimed as in its golden days. Liwayway has also expanded to include feature articles, socio-political commentaries, and a number of stories about celebrities and showbiz personalities.
