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.

This kariton (pushcart) was being used by a homeless man as a shelter and a means of carrying scraps to sell at junkyards. The side of the kariton reads, very in tongue-in-cheek, “Bahay na, Hanap buhay pa. San ka pa[?]” (A home and a source of livelihood. How about that?)
