It's not Catbalogan nor Katagalugan, it's CA-TA-LU-GAN, Catalugan.
I also had the same problem when I was a kid when reading and remembering the name of this bread.
But the many years of enjoying this specialty from Tibiao Bakery, I think I have it in me.
So what is catalugan?
It's basically a filled bread and like what you see, it has more filling that the "bread" itself.

Tibiao Bakery makes the more "high end" catalugan as they are big, individually wrapped and deliciously addicting.
Smaller bakeshops also make catalugan but its just the regular "one of those" breads. But this one from Tibiao is worth every "bit and morsel".
For around 12 each (few years back it was only PhP 10), this bite size bread is heavy as the filling is a compact and flavouful blend of "secrets" for this one had no ingredients listed on its packaging.

So I can only assume what they are everytime I am asked. Its like a moist mixture of flour, sugar, flavouring and coloring among others.
The ones from little bakeshops are almost like that of the local hopia which is a sticky blend of above ingredients but Tibiao's seems to have a big difference.
But whatever, it maybe, its always a treat to satisfy my craving for this sweet bread.

Now repeat after me, CA-TA-LU-GAN.
Catagalugan, Catbalogan!
