Where did the first mass in the Philippines happened?

In our country, Philippines Roman Catholicism


dominates, this issue is a big deal. According to Philippine Statistics Authority, 81.04% of the Philippine
population are Roman Catholic and as one of them it is really important for me to know the truth about
this. Where did the first mass in the Philippines happened. Hello and good morning everyone I am from
group 2 and we are on the side of Limasawa. First, I’m going to introduce the topic of this debate.” Is the
First mass in the Philippines happened in Butuan or Limasawa?” Our group believe that the first mass In
the Philippines happened in Limasawa. We are going to defend it these 3 evidences: Pigafetta’s book,
Francisco Albo’s Logbook, National Historical Commision article entitled “Ending the Limasawa
Controversy”. My groupmates will further explain those evidences and will give you more information
about it. For 300 years Filipinos believed that the first mass happened in Butuan not until scholars had
full access to one of four manuscripts of Pigafetta’s chronicle and this started other historians to dig
deeper the past of this issue.
