Profiles

The kingdom of Lakandola stretched from Tondo to Pampanga. The chieftains come from the royal kinship; the title given for the Tagalog rulers was Gat e.g. Gat Chalian in Malolos.

Gat Chulian (also Gat Chalian/ Gat sa Li-Han or Lian or Liang) is the ruler of Li-Han, now we call Malolos in Bulacan, Philippines, and is one of the kin of Lakan Dula, the king of Tondo. His descendants used his whole name composition (Gatchulian) as their family name with variations like Gatchalian and Gatsalian.

Profiles included here are historical figures, heroes, government officials, philanthropists, celebrities, and any member of the clan using the family name Gatchalian or it's variants (e.g. Gatsalian) who excelled in the different fields of expertise or has given significant contribution to the society.
