• According to Fr. Pedro de San Buena Ventura (1613) and Fr. Domingo de los Santos (1835), a katutubo (literally, “someone sprouted with”, or more loosely translated as “someone with the same age”) is a guardian angel believed long ago to be given to each man at the time of their birth by Bathalang Maykapal or born with the person for the person's protection, of which they call bathalang katutubo (or badhalang katutubo in Noceda & Sanlucar (1860)).
