Edgar G. Belda Jr. had been a member of the Department of Family Life and Child Development, College of Home Economics, University of the Philippines Diliman since 2018. He graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree offered by the same Department and College. He is currently finishing his graduate studies in MA Psychology (Clinical) from the same University. Edgar’s research interests revolve around generational trauma, positive parenting, and the impact of stories and narratives to a child’s holistic development. His interests in stories and narratives led him to opportunities which allowed him to write several storybooks with different institutions such as the Department of Science and Technology - Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI), United Nations International Childrens’ Emergency Fund (UNICEF) Philippines, Young Living (YL) Philippines, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Aside from writing, he also serves as a resource speaker and expert consultant to educational institutions, media networks, professional organizations, and NGOs, among others.
