The probe re-evaluated epistemological meta-

analyses and empirical research on the subject,

gleaned archival replicas of Antonio Pigafetta's
chronicles as well as other domains from all over the
world, scrutinized the alleged ceremony sites in
Butuan and Limasawa, confronted geology and
cartography specialists, and lodged its dossier for
audit by history divisions at various Philippine
institutions. Well, the NHCP assumed a committee of
researcher' judgment, reiterating past conclusions
that on 1521 Easter Sunday Mass was held in
Limasawa, not Butuan, which other historians
claimed it, but not in totality and legitimately.
Notwithstanding, some say that Mazaua is the island
flanking Leyte's southern part, named Limasawa,
according to official declaration and those who argue
that Mazaua is in Butuan and which is the genuine
site of the First Mass are staunchly antithetical.
Moreover, as stated by historian Sonia Zaide
identified that Masao (also Mazaua) in Butuan is the
location of the first Christian mass. If you wondered,
Mazaua or Masao is located at around 8° 60' North
and 125° 29' East on the country by country basis.
Interpreting cited sources, tracked the Magellan
fleet's path using primary materials and found that
9 and 3/4 degrees latitude, together with the
interpretation of longitude coordinates from other
sources, pointed to Butuan as the destination of the
Congregation. Magellan's Anchorage in XFXM+QPG,
Butuan City, Agusan Del Norte, which emerges to be
the site where Magellan embarked and formed a
blood covenant with Raja Siaiu, the sovereign of
Butuan, was identified as the point of Magellan's
expedition through ancient landmarks as well as
artifacts on Butuan.
