Dayang Kalangitan (Baybayin: ᜃᜎᜅᜒᜆᜈ᜔ , Abecedario: Cálan͠gúitán) (r. c.1450–c.1500) is a legendary figure in early Philippine history who was said to be Dayang of the pre-Hispanic Indianized polity of Pasig.[1][2] She was co-regent of Pasig with her husband, Rajah Lontok, and later sole ruler of their realms. She is one of the very few known female leaders in precolonial Philippine history.[3]
She ruled Pasig from her seat of power in Bitukang Manók. Her children are Dayang Panginoan, Dayang Lahat, Rajah Salalila of Maynila and Gat Kahiya.[4][5]
