( Chapter 3.2 ) Case Study 1: Where did the First Catholic Mass Take Place in the Philippines?

Summary

This transcript discusses a case study on the controversy surrounding the location of the first Catholic Mass in the Philippines, historically believed to have taken place in Butuan. It details the journey of Ferdinand Magellan and his crew, based on primary sources like the logbook of Francisco Albo and the writings of Antonio Pigafetta. The report explores different islands they visited and contrasts the claims about Butuan and Limasawa. It concludes with evidence suggesting that the first Mass likely occurred on Limasawa Island, not Butuan, supported by geographical and historical context.

Takeaways

• 📜 The first Catholic mass in the Philippines is debated between two locations: Butuan and Limasawa Island.
• ⛪ Butuan was believed to be the site of the first mass for many years, but this view has been challenged by historical research.
• 🛳️ Two main primary sources help in identifying the location: the logbook of Francisco Albo, a pilot on Magellan's ship, and the writings of Antonio Pigafetta, an eyewitness to the voyage.
• ⏳ Pigafetta describes their journey, noting that on March 16, 1521, Magellan's fleet first landed on the island of Zamal (now Samar), later moving to Homonhon Island.
• 🌊 After gathering supplies at Homonhon, the fleet sailed to Mazaua (believed to be Limasawa Island), where a cross was planted on a mountaintop, and Magellan celebrated Easter Mass.
• 🤔 Historians dispute whether the first mass occurred in Butuan or Limasawa, questioning the lack of reference to Butuan's key geographical features in Pigafetta's account.
• 📘 Pigafetta's detailed description of events, including exchanges with native kings like King Colambu, supports the Limasawa claim.
• 🌍 Pigafetta's testimony highlights the significance of the Easter Mass held on March 31, 1521, on Mazaua, now thought to be Limasawa.
• 📝 The controversy continues as scholars use primary sources to argue the location of the first mass, with Pigafetta’s account favoring Limasawa over Butuan.
• 🚩 The script emphasizes that Butuan's claim might have originated from confusion after Magellan's death when survivors reached Mindanao and Butuan, thus mistakenly associating Butuan with the first mass.

📜 Introduction to the Case Study of the First Catholic Mass in the Philippines

The first paragraph introduces the case study exploring the controversy around the location of the first Catholic mass in the Philippines. While Butuan was long considered the site, historical research in the 19th and 20th centuries cast doubt on this, with scholars reevaluating primary sources like the logs of Francisco Albo and the accounts of Antonio Pigafetta, one of Magellan’s crew. The paragraph also summarizes the beginning of Magellan's voyage, noting the landmarks they encountered and the journey leading them to Butuan.

05:02

⛪ Encounter with Mazava Island and Religious Practices

This section describes the explorers' journey southward to Mazava, where they faced challenges with the local Spaniards. The paragraph highlights how Magellan’s crew observed the Spaniards planting a cross and forming relations with the native kings in the area. The exploration continued toward Subu (Cebu), where the crew stayed for several days, made peace agreements, and gathered supplies. The narration sets the stage for Pigafetta’s detailed testimony of Magellan's expedition, emphasizing the religious events and the political negotiations between the Spanish and local leaders.

10:03

🌊 Exploration of Homonhon Island and Initial Contact with Natives

This paragraph details the stay of Magellan’s crew on the island of Homonhon, focusing on their discovery of springs of water and possible signs of gold. It also notes the crew’s first encounter with Filipinos when nine native men approached them in boats. The two groups exchanged gifts, establishing peaceful relations. Over several days, the natives returned with supplies, and Magellan’s crew explored the island further, marking it as the 'Watering Place of Good Omen.' Pigafetta’s accounts also mention how the island’s springs are no longer visible due to environmental changes.

15:03

⛴️ Departure from Homonhon and Stay at Mazawa Island

Magellan and his crew leave Homonhon and continue their journey to Mazawa (Limasawa), where they spend several days. This paragraph highlights the interactions between Magellan’s men and the native rulers, especially King Colambu. The group exchanged gifts, and on Easter Sunday, they celebrated mass, marking the first Catholic mass on Philippine soil. A cross was erected on a hill, which was visited by both the King of Mazawa and the King of Butuan. This key event is often cited as evidence that the first mass occurred in Mazawa, not Butuan.

🚢 Continued Exploration and Arrival at Cebu

The final section covers the departure of Magellan’s crew from Mazawa and their journey past several islands, including Leyte, Bohol, and Canigao, before reaching Cebu (referred to as Zubu). The paragraph explains how Magellan and his crew entered into negotiations with local leaders, seeking supplies. The narrative concludes with the assertion that despite earlier claims of Butuan being the site of the first mass, evidence from Pigafetta and other primary sources strongly supports that it was held in Mazawa (Limasawa) instead. The testimony aligns with that of Francisco Albo, confirming this historic location.

Highlights

Introduction to the topic: Where did the first Catholic mass take place in the Philippines?

Historical belief: Butuan was long considered the site of the first Catholic mass, backed by a monument built in 1872.

Challenges to the Butuan theory: Late 19th and 20th-century scholars reevaluated historical evidence.

Primary sources for investigation: Logbooks of Francisco Albo, a pilot on Magellan’s ship, and Antonio Pigafetta, who provided an eyewitness account of the voyage.

March 16, 1521: Magellan and his crew spotted an island called Yunagan but did not stay due to shallow waters.

Magellan's crew proceeded south to the island of Suluan, where they briefly encountered natives.

They sailed westward to the island of Homonhon, where they resupplied with food and water.

Sailing further south, they reached the gold-rich island of Mazava, where they planted a cross on a mountaintop.

After traveling between several islands, Magellan's crew stayed in Subu (Cebu) for seven days, forming a peace pact with the local king.

Antonio Pigafetta’s account: On March 16, 1521, Magellan and his crew landed at the island of Zamal (Samar).

They then stayed on the island of Homonhon, where they first encountered Filipinos.

On Easter Sunday, March 31, 1521, Magellan celebrated a Catholic mass and erected a cross at Mazava (now Limasawa).

Controversy: The geographical evidence suggests the first mass occurred in Limasawa, not Butuan.

Butuan was a river settlement, which Pigafetta's account fails to mention, leading scholars to question its claim as the first mass site.

Conclusion: Based on primary sources, the first Catholic mass in the Philippines was likely celebrated on Limasawa Island.

to understand the further interpretation

of this Let's listen to Miss la

introduction about our

[Palakpakan]

topic Hello everyone so today we will be

tackling the case study one specifically

Where did the first Catholic mass take

place in the Philippines including all

the primary sources This is a case study

of the controversy it spark around an

issue as basic to me at least such as aw

in the Philippines did they celebrate

first mass Butuan was considered the

site of the first mass for many years It

was a belief built on little more than

accounts of history and immortalized by

their own Monument in the bank of

augustan river in

1872 but as historical research progress

in the Late 19 and early 20th Centuries

scholars Began to challenge this

classical view of his death they then

evaluate the evidence and

interpretations Uh there are mainly two

kind of sources which helps in locating

the first

mass first is Uh log book of

Francisco um pilot on board one of the

ships Magellan nf a few survivors Uh

second is Antonio

pigafetta a Uh complete and accurate

account of the voyage was written by an

eyewitness to all events including

Presence on first m

historians have thereby cast doubt by re

evaluating this primary sources on the

longstanding assertion that Butuan was

where the first Catholic mass took

place so the next is the primary sources

wherein yung a slog is dito naka-detail

kung paano nakap si ferdin magan

together with his crew through the

Philippines So I'll just make a summary

of

it so on the 16th of March 1521 as they

sailed in a westerly cars from ladrones

they saw land towards the Northwest

about owing to many shallow places They

did not approach it They found later

that its name was yunagan

so Ah yung first is nung March 16 1521

pumunta sila sa place is na ang name

niya is yunagan so hindi sila nag-stay

doon kasi merong shallows of waters then

they didn't stay there even a day and Uh

the same day Umalis sila sa yunagan and

they went instead southward to another

small Island named suluan so hindi sila

nakapag-ayos

ah then they saw some canus but this a

fled at Spaniard approach it means sa

small Island which is sa suluan is meron

pa ding Spaniards approach Spaniards

approach since sina magelan is europeans

europeans I guess then this Island was

at 9 and 23 degrees North

latitude so next is Hindi naman sila

nag-stay doon since merong paing spins

approach doon sila sa ah place na ion

which is suluan then the parting from

those Islands ah they sailed

westward okay sa westward naman sila

pumunta which is the island of gada or

Iyung homonhon where took in a supply of

food and water so sa homonhon sila

kumuha ng supply supply para sa wood and

water nila So from the island they

sailed towards a large Island name saani

so after nila makakuha ng wood and water

nila sa homonhon nag-travel ulit sila

papunta saani or the salon of the

inhabited

ay salon or the salon that was inhabited

sa Saon yung next nilang pinuntahan

after nila makakuha ng wood and water

doon sa place na humon

hon naglayag ulit sila then doon naman

sila lumipat sa lugar na known to half

gold so matatal na sila kasi doon sila

pumunta sa known na maraming

gold then Uh sailing southward they turn

Southwest to a small to a small Island

called

mazava so after nila doon sa island of

gold naglayag naman sila southward they

turn Southwest Southwest naman ah

Southwest naman sila to a small Island C

So ahun yun na ung pagpunta nila sa

mazava pero Ah yung mga tao yung mga tao

pala sa mazava is there are there are

Spaniards planted across upon upon a

mountain

top so mga Spaniards pa din iyung mga

tao sa mazava then dito sila nahirapan

sa pagtravel nila sa mazava since mga

Spaniards din ang mga tao dito then

bumalik ulit sila sa saani or yung place

na known for Gold then North ah westerly

Direction they saw three Islands then

they entered a channel Between Two

Islands which was called matan and subu

so dito sila sa town of La Villa or yung

sa subu dito sila naka-stay ng many days

or i guess Uh seven days and obtained

provisions and entered into a peace pack

with the local King after nila makapasok

doon sa town of La Villa sa subo is

naka-stay sila ng 7 days then

nag-entry then ah dito sila na dito sila

nag-stock up ng supply sa subo and then

gumawa sila ng peace agreement with the

local King para para maka stay sila na

peaceful and then after that town of

subu was on EastWest with the island or

suluan and mazava but between mazava and

subu there were so many shallows that

the boats could not go westward so the

continuation will be on Pig feto

testimony on the rot of

Magellan's

[Musika]

Expedition Hello everyone i'm carline

Sher Lazar kagi and again to disguise to

you this prim source in the case study

of Miguel berl entitled Butuan or

limasawa Where did the first Catholic

fast take place in the philippines so

this report is the continuation of the

report of Miss loban who introduced our

topic as well as the first primary

Resource known as Albus Love So before

we dig deeper in our discussion kilala

nin muna natin sino nga ba si fig petta

and Bakit nakasama siya sa kasaysayan

natin So si Antonia fig PETA was most

likely known as an Italian Explorer and

geographer na naging kasama ni magalan

and one of the 18 survivors nung ginawa

nila ang kanilang Expedition so si Pig

PETA ay maisip na libro and tinawag niya

ito the first voyage around the world

nakasulat sa libro niya ang iba't ibang

historical events kagaya ng the first

Easter day must celebrated in the

Philippines na ngayon ay ginawa ni

manuel Bernard as one of primary source

to his key study so peta's testimony on

the route of magalan Expedition So ayon

kay fig PETA Saturday March 16 15 21 si

magala ang mga kasama niya is naka

retain sa isang Highland na tinatawag na

zaman take note niyo nga lang pala guys

na ang zamal is the summer Island ngayon

sa panahon natin So kung makikita niyo

sa mapa naggaling sila manalan sa

Pacific Ocean hanggang makarating sila

sa zamal Island so the following day

Sunday March 17 after mamataan ni maalan

at ng mga tauhan niya ang zamal Island

nagpatuloy sila sa paglalayag at tumigil

sa another Island Nam homonol which was

uninhabited in the year 1521 so ang hon

ngayon sa Panahon Natin is the island of

Easter sumar at that same day Tinawag ni

magel ng archipelago ng the island of St

lazaros ang reason daw niya is because

he first saw the island on that day na

ginugunita ang pagbangon ni lazarus from

the dead as recounted under their

calendar so another kaalaman lang guys

na ang ngayon is naging parte ng Easter

Sunday ang binanggit ni fig PETA na

rason ni magalan which is ginugunita ng

mga friends nating Christian before

Christmas Monday March 18 in the

afternoon of the second day nila doon sa

Island ng homan may nakita silang

sasakyang pandagat or balangay na

papunta sa kanila at may sakay na siyam

na lalaki which is yyung mga lalaki pala

is the native people sa katabing Island

ng homo non so that is the first time

that europeans have a contact with

Filipinos so napagkasunduan nilang

mag-exchange gift kaya humiling si

majelan ng food supply so nung paalis na

ang mga lalaki sa Island na hon non n

nga ako or they promise na magdadala

sila ng rise and other supplies in 4

days habang hinihintay nila fig PETA

yung promise ng pilipino nag-ikot-ikot

sila sa Island ng homun non at doon

nalaman nilang May dalawang spring of

water pala doon and nabanggit din ni fig

PETA na nakitaan nila ng possible na

merong gold sa part ng Island na iyon

Kaya magelan renamed the island at

tinawag niya itong watering place of

good Omen but ngayon sa Panahon Natin is

hindi na natin makikita yung dalawang

spring na tinutukoy nila dahil natabunan

na ng lupa because of mining and other

reason that made by other people so

moving forward Friday March 22 ng

tanghali the natives or the Filipinos

Come Back And this time dalawang

sasakyan pandagat na sila at may

dala-dala na silang food supplies so

dahil nga may food supply na sila fig

PETA napagkasunduan nila magel na

manatili pa ng 8 days sa Hom monon or ng

Easter sumar So from Sunday March 17

Hanggang Monday tanghali ng March 25

nanatili lang sila doon sa homo non

Monday March 25 in the afternoon they

left the island of Hom non but nung

paalis na sila aksidenteng nahulog si

fig PETA into the water but gladly he

was rescued patuloy sila sa paglalayag

and nadaanan nila ang apat na Island ng

sinalo hunang Han ibon at Iban so si

feta and his Companion is naglayag

papuntang West Southwest from homun non

or Easter summer ngayon and nadaanan

nilang sinalo which is sabi ni PETA is

the wrong spelling of silon well tinawag

naman ito ni albo na sil na ngayon sa

Panahon Natin isang Leyte then nadaanan

din nila ang hunang Han the Southern

Leyte kasamang hibon Island sa left ng

Leyte and Hi unang Han bay or SOG bay

naman sa right side ng Leyte so they

continue sa paglalayag papuntang South

and then papuntang West to mazaa so

March 28 in the morning of holy Thursday

Idina nila ang ship nila sa isang Island

kung saan nakakita sila ng bonfire nng

gabi ng paglalayag nila and that island

is called maawa or kilala natin ngayon

as limasawa nanatili sila fig PETA

majelan at iba pa nilang kasamahan ng 7

days doon sa mazaa so dito ang

pag-uusapan naman natin isang pananatili

nila fig PETA ng s days sa maawa or

kilala natin as

limasawa so sa first day nila Holly

Thursday March 28 nang dumaong ang barko

nila Pig PETA and Binati sila ng man of

mawa sakay ng maliit na balangay Later

on May dalawang dumating naman na mas

malaki pang balangay at sakay ng isang

balangay na iyon ang native King or hang

hari ng maawa so based sa History din

natin that time ang hari ng binabanggit

ni Pig PETA a si King kulambo so ang

grupo ni majelan and feta is

nag-exchange gift with Pilipinos sa

mazaa and at the same day in the

afternoon naman dumaong sila malapit sa

village ng native Kings so the next day

holy Friday March 20 n again

nag-exchange sila ng gift kung saan ang

native King is dinalan niya ang dalawang

members ni melan as bisita for that

night and isa sa dalawang iyon is si fig

PETA so as a visita of the native Kings

fig PETA and his Companion spent their

previous evening para magtan kay a

colambo and his son on the Saturday

March 30 in the morning bumalik na si

fig PETA at yyung isa pa niyang kasama

sa barko nila maalat so Eto na Sunday

March 31 early in the morning the last

date of March and Easter Day so

Nagpadala si magel ng prise of Paris sa

pangpang kasama ang ibang tauhan na

inutusan naman niyang mag-prepare para

sa Misa so pagtapos ng Misa melan order

a mas to be celebrated pagtapos nilang

mag-celebrate in the afternoon nagpatayo

sila machel ng cross on the summit of

the top of field facing the sea na

parehong dinalaw ng king of ma

or king columbo and the king of butuan

or si King

siwi so siguro dito sa part na ito is

medyo nagkaka idea na tayo kung saan nga

ba talaga naganap ang first Catholic

mass in the Philippines but hindi pa

nagtatapos dito ang discussion natin So

in that same afternoon Nagtanong si

magelan sa dalawang native King kung

saan siya pwedeng dumaong naman or

pumunta in order to obtain abundant

supplies of food na mas maram pa kaysa

sa available supplies ng island of maawa

so sinagot naman siya nung dalawang hari

at sabi nung dalawang hari na may

tatlong port siyang pwedeng pagdaan or

pagpilian which is hon zubu and kalangan

but zubu daw ang mas masagana in terms

of food supplies so sabi pa ng native

King is pwede niyang i-guide si magelan

papunta doon but kapalit daw is ang

pagtulog ng mga tao ni majelan sa pagh

nila on Monday April 1 magelan s his men

and nag-attempt na tumulong sa pagh para

sa kapalit na pagdulong din ng hari ng

maawa papuntang zubu however walang

nangyaring pagtulong dahil ang dalawang

hari is natutulog because nag-inuman

sila for continuation sa pagcelebrate

nila ngm na night before during day

Tuesday April 2 and Wednesday April 3

lang nangyari Iyung attempt ni majelan

na pagtulog sa pag harvest so in

Thursday april 4 si magelan at mga ama

niya is Umalis na ng maawa Papunta na

silang zubu and this is the ending ng

pananatili nila majelan sa mawa or

liwasan ngayon sa panahon natin So

Although medyo nalilinawan na tayo and

nabanggit na din ni fig PETA kung saan

ang kauna-unahang catolic M dito sa

Pilipinas hindi pa natatapos dito ang

discussion natin because may

pinaglalaban si Miguel Bernard

mapapansin niyo naging 12 kaagad ang

numbering natin at because this is the

continuation of higet testimony on the

route of maalan expiation which is yung

first topic natin So kailangan natin to

siyang tapusin guys para makita kung

align ba ang kwento ni fig PETA sa

kwento naman ni albo so moving forward

april 4 Thursday n Umalis na silang fig

PETA magelan at ang mga kasahan nila sa

maawa so ginay sila ng Harry of mazaa

kagaya ng Pinangako nila papuntang zubu

and their rout took them past five

Island namely silon ang Leyte ngayon

Bohol na Bohol pa rin hanggang ngayon

and kingan na canigao Island na in the

Bisayas region as well as the Baybay

which is sabi ni Miguel Bernard is most

likely na misspelling for bpay na ang

ibig sabihin is several location dito sa

bansa natin sa Pilipinas so possible na

ang Nabanggit ni pic PETA ay isang

Island na part lang din ng Visayas so

the next and the last na nadaanan nila

isang gating Han ang Gata Island ngayon

sa Bisayas region din so si magelan at

ang mga kasamahan niya s West from

katingan and nakarating sila sa tatlong

Island na tinatawag na Poro pasih and

ponso so ang tatlong Island na to is

part ng Camotes Island group ngayon

located in the central Philippines and

tourist spot siya ngayon from the

Camotes Island naglayag ulit sila

papunta sa South West papuntang zubu or

mas kilala natin ngayon as Cebu so

Sunday April 7 at noon they enter the

harbor of Cebu so inabot sila ng 3 days

sa paglalayag nila from maawa to Island

para makarating sa zubu or Cebu so ang

main point ng part na to is para malaman

kung pareho ang naging testimony ni albo

at fig PETA but sa ngayon Nakita naman

natin na nalaman naman natin na pareho

nga talaga But mas maraming detail lang

na na- provide si pic PETA during their

s days stay in

maawa so using the primary sources

available na nakalap ni mikel Bernard

inig niya na kung talagang sa Butuan nga

nangyari ang first mass in the

Philippines Bakit hindi nasabi or

Nabanggit ni fig PETA na ang mahalagang

geographical location na meron ng Butuan

which is ang river ang Butuan kasi is

river R settlement siya So situation ng

the Agusan River and also the beach of

maso in the in the delta of the sed

river so ang kini-claim sa case study na

to is hindi sa Butuan nangyari ang first

mask kasi kung talagang sa Butuan dapat

may nabanggit si fig PETA about sa river

kasi napakaimposible daw na ma-miss ang

napakaimportanteng detail na iyon ng

Butuan instead ang nabanggit lang Don ni

fig PETA is ang pag-celebrate nila at

pag-establisar

[Musika]

sa Asia naging ready sila kaya nanakop

bigla so si Christopher Columbus isang

Governor sa kanila is nagmungkahi na

maglayag pa West para humanap ng

shortcut sa paglalayag nila naabot nila

ang America And then sinakop ang North

America Mexico and South America in 16th

century and then they reach the

Philippines and inangkin nila ito for

the crown of their Spaniards so dito na

appointed out that after majelan death

pala the survivors of his Expedition is

pumunta ng Mindanao then tsaka pumunta

sa Butuan kaya Inakala e na paniwalaan

natin na ang first Catholic ma sa

Pilipinas is sa Butuan nangyari also

dito sa part na to may dinescribe at

nabanggit na si PG PETA na trip in River

however nangyari ito nung panahong Patay

na si maalan therefore ang first

Catholic maz na Philippines is

originally sa maawa or limasawa Island

nangyari so I hope na hindi kayo nalito

sa mga date guys Yun lang ang the Thank

you
