Edrian Macabalitao
Edrian Macabalitao is a Filipino writer of Tagalog heritage and a licensed psychometrician.
He graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Sta. Mesa (Class of 2023).
He started writing at thirteen, a couple of years after his father died. This confronted him early with questions about identity and carrying forward, becoming the thread running through his writing.
Across all of it, the same themes keeps returning: guilt, grief, and what people carry past any good reason. His recent philosophical inquiry, Shadow Work, A Maintenance (forthcoming, 2026), turns to something more abstract, seeking the layer of survival beneath a life.
