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.
The ubiquitous jeepney is the most popular mode of public transportation in the Philippines. These vehicles were patterned from the jeeps brought over by the Americans during war times. They are usually made out to be very colourful, and the sides are adorned with eye-catching images, and of course, the jeepney routes. (Image courtesy of http://asiatravelbug.net)
