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.

What's Original about Pinoy Music?

Covering older songs and remaking popular standards are also commonplace in the local music scene. Most of these songs are used as theme songs in the official soundtracks of popular movies or soap operas. More often than not, these popular movies or soap operas are also titled after the theme songs themselves and even utilize themes from the said songs in their narratives, such as ABS-CBN’s telenovela “Be Careful With My Heart”.
