The document discusses the site of the first Catholic mass in the Philippines. It was held on March 31, 1521 in Limasawa, Southern Leyte by Father Pedro de Valderrama. However, the exact location was debated. Some historians claimed it was in Butuan, while others like Pigafetta, who was part of Magellan's voyage, stated it was on the island of Mazau, which is now identified as Limasawa. The evidence from Pigafetta's diary and maps support Limasawa as the site, not Butuan or Masao.

*1872 : A monument to commemorate the site of first mass on the Philippines was erected in Butuan. *1953: The people in Butuan asked the Philippine Historical Committee to rehabilitate the monument or place a marker on the site.
*On the basis of this objection the monument was re erected but the marble slab stating it was the site of first mass was removed. *Zaide identified Masao in Butuan as the location of the first mass. The basis Zaides claim is the diary of Antonio Pigafetta, chronicle of Magellans voyage
*Jaime de Veyra stated that the first mass was celebrated in Limawasa not in Butuan. *Historian Pablo Pastells stating by the footnote to Francisco Colins Labor Evangelica that Magellan did not go to Butuan but form Limasawa to Cebu.
* Francisco Albo ( pilot of Magellans flagship does not mention the first mass but he writes that they erected a cross on a mountain which overlooked three islands the west and the southwest. *James Robertson agreed with Pastells in a footnote that Mazua was actually Limasawa.
* in the authentic account of Pigafetta, the port was not in Butuan but an island named Mazua ( Masawa) *Father Bernard studied all the Pigafettas maps, which place in Mazau off the southern tip of the larger island of Leyte., a check with the modern maps will show that this jibes with Limasawa and not Masao or Butuan.
