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.

Flipside and Digital Publishing in the Philippines

In 2011, a mere three years ago, the e-book landscape was markedly different. Amazon was the only digital bookstore from which Filipinos could buy e-books legitimately. Therefore, although Filipino indie authors and small publishers like Flipside could distribute to most of the major e-bookstores around the world such as Apple, Barnes & Noble, these stores weren’t accessible to the Filipino market.
