Magellan named the archipelago the 'Islands of Saint Lazarus' on Sunday, March 17, 1521.

The account of the explorer places Mazava in the location of Limasawa Island, southern end of Leyte.

Spanish friars held significant power in the Philippines, controlling education and aspects of civil government, which led to conflicts with Filipinos seeking greater autonomy.

The Spanish government in Madrid sought to limit the friars' power and introduce educational reforms in the Philippines, aiming to improve the standard of education and reduce friar influence.

The Cavite Mutiny was used by Spanish authorities and friars to justify maintaining their control and curb the growing Filipino opposition to their rule.

The Spanish government introduced a decree to improve education in the Philippines by merging sectarian schools run by friars into a national institute, requiring competitive examinations for teachers.

French writer Edmund Plauchut offered an alternative perspective on the Cavite Mutiny, suggesting that it was more than just a simple mutiny but reflected deeper social and political tensions.
