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.
Texts that contain “true” personal narratives are some of the most popular texts in the Philippines. Different categories of personal narratives have inspired numerous anthologies or story collections, the most popular being true crime, true ghost stories or encounters with the paranormal, and true day-to-day, slice-of-life experiences.
