Study Notes
Magellan's Expedition
- Antonio Pigafetta, an Italian nobleman, accompanied Ferdinand Magellan on his circumnavigation of the world.
- Pigafetta's account is a major reference to the events leading to Magellan's arrival in the Philippines.
Site of the 1st Catholic Mass
- Pigafetta's account and Albo's log state that the 1st Mass took place in Limasawa Island, Leyte.
- They stayed in Limasawa for 7 days (March 28, 1521 - April 4, 1521) before going to Zubu (Cebu).
- Albo's log supports Pigafetta's claim, mentioning Magellan erecting a cross at the top of a mountain, which fits Limasawa's description.
Butuan's Claim
- Father Francisco Colin and Francisco Combe claimed that the 1st Mass took place in Masao (Butuan, Agusan del Norte) based on Catholic Church traditions.
- Murillo Veralde's map shows Magellan going to Butuan, then Limasawa, and then to Cebu.
The Controversy
- The National Historical Commission of the Philippines declared Limasawa as the site of the 1st Catholic Mass in 2021, citing modern navigational instruments.
- The recovery of 10 Balangay boats in 1976 near Masao River supported Butuan's claim.
Magellan's Expedition (cont.)
- Magellan was killed in the battle of Mactan against Lapu-lapu on April 27, 1521.
- Juan Sebastian Elcano, the navigator, completed the first circumnavigation of the globe.
Cavite Mutiny
- The Cavite Mutiny refers to a rebellion against the authorities, especially by soldiers.
- The question remains whether one would stand for what is right and rebel against an oppressive government.
