Katalonan
A Katalonan (also spelled Catalonan; Catulunan in Pampango) is a priest or priestess of the old Tagalog animistic religion. These priestesses were either female, or male transvestites.
The term apparently springs from the Tagalog word "katalo", which means "in good terms with," such that the Catalonan are those "in good terms with the Anito spirits"
Historian and Spanish Missionary Pedro Chirino, SJ noted that their long hair is a symbol of their commitment to their religion.
