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.
Newspaper stands such as this can be found all over Manila. Most stands are ambulant, with very few actually paying for rental space. Because it is technically illegal to sell things on the sidewalk, many of these stands are fly-by-night and need to be mobile to account for possible raids by policemen.
