Dayang Kalangitan

Dayang Kalangitan (Baybayin: ᜃᜎᜅᜒᜆᜈ᜔ , Abecedario: Cálan͠gúitán) is a legendary figure in early Philippine history who was said to be Dayang of the precolonial Indianized polity of Pasig. She was co-ruler of Pasig with her husband, Gat Lontok. She is one of the very few known female leaders in precolonial Philippine history.

She was mentioned in the Will of Fernando Malang Balagtas (1589). Dayang Kalangitan was married to Gat Lontok. Together with her husband, Kalangitan ruled over the area around the Pasig River. Throughout her life, she had four children, who were Panginoan, Lahat, Salalila of Maynila and Kahiya. Her daughter Dayang Panginoan was married to Prince Balagtas, the son of Empress Sasanban of Sapa.

Her son, Salalila succeeded her as monarch; and after converting to Islam, he adopted his more famous name, Sulaiman. Tondo and Maynila became separate kingdoms after Kalangitan. Tondo was ruled by Salalila's eldest son, Lakandula and Maynila by Rajah Matanda and Rajah Sulayman. Namayan came under the rule of Kalamayin.
