Cecile Baltasar

Writer / A mother to two teens (and three dogs), I'm a Manila-based writer and editor whose work in print and digital content spans two decades. I advocate for mental health—in teens, particularly—having recently written a resource book on mental health for the Commission on Human Rights Philippines. I believe in using my words to help parents like myself see that happy, loving, and confident parenting relies heavily on strong mental health. I finished university with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, focusing on Communication Arts, from Ateneo de Manila University
