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.
Lottery stalls like this one are quite popular and ubiquitous all over the metro. Many working-class Filipinos spend hard-earned money on lottery tickets, with hordes of people falling in line for a chance to purchase some. Arguably, one can say that “reading” lottery tickets is a skill that many Filipinos have acquired.
