EXERCISE #1
POSITION PAPER

Where would be the best place for the ‘first mass’.The first mass is the
Philippines was held on March 31,1521 and it is easter Sunday.Filipinos are arguing
where the first mass was actually held in Philippines.Some said it happened in Butuan
and others said in the limasawa.

There’s many inconsistent information in this topic.First inconsistent

information is “where did the first mass actually take place.They have pieces of
evidence to prove that the first mass in the Philippines happened here.Second “Which
direction did Ferdinand magellan’s expedition go,is it towards Butuan and limasawa?”.In
order to know where the first mass was actually held you need to first where did
Magellan’s expedition landed because after they landed in an island he ordered a mass
which is the first mass in the Philippines in order to celebrate.

I agree that the first mass happened in the limasawa.There’s many

credible evidence that the first mass happened in there.First, Francisco albo’s diary
which states that magellan’s expedition is going towards the southern end of
limasawa.Second, Antonio pigafetta’s testimony regarding the route od expedition.He
also maps and sketches that leads to Limasawa.

ASSESSMENT #1

The Cavity Munity

This case studies was discussed on January 20,1872 this was all about the brief
uprising of 200 Filipino troops and workers at the Cavite arsenal, which became the
excuse for Spanish repression of the embryonic Philippine nationalist
movement.GOMBURZA was tagged as the mastermind of the cavite munity,who falsely
accuse of mutiny by the Spanish colonial authorities.GOMBURZA was trying to fight for
the right of their fellow native priest against Spanish abuses. The Cavite Mutiny is an
aim of natives to get rid of the Spanish government in the Philippines, due to the
removal of privileges enjoyed by the laborers of the Cavite arsenal such as exemption
from the tribute and forced labor.

ASSESSMENT #3
The way I see it, “issues with conflicting matters” — historical or otherwise —
are precisely the ones that need to be debated. The purpose is to educate and
persuade. People should be thoroughly informed of such “matters”. The Palestinian
Problem, abortion, war, genocide, euthanasia, racial prejudice, women’s rights, police
brutality, torture, politics, terrorism, climate change, etc.: the conflict can’t be resolved or
decided by ignoring or denying it.
