We found a great quantity of white coral there, and large trees with fruit a trifle smaller than the almond and resembling pine
seeds. There are many islands in that district, and therefore we called them the (3), as they were discovered on the (4). They lie in (5) of latitude toward the Arctic Pole, and in a longitude of (6) from the line of demarcation.

In a paper written by (1) (1981), the Butuan claim was based on the long standing tradition that ever since the (2), it was believed especially by the people of Butuan that the first Catholic mass was held at a location by the (3).

77
Q

Priests who published separate works about the Spanish presence in the Philippines with heavy referencing from the Pigafetta accounts. It is their interpretation though of the Pigafetta narrative that somehow grounded the Butuan claim since both priests interpreted the Pigafetta account placing Magellan at Butuan during the First Mass and planting of the cross

81
Q

A Spanish Jesuit scholar by the name of (1) had also accepted the Butuan claim but a re-examination of the Pigafetta and Albo accounts in (2) led him to argue that Magellan did not go to Butuan but rather was in Limasawa thus rendering the Colin account to be erroneous. Since then, the Limasawa claim gained a stronger foothold eventually leading to the proclamation by law of Limasawa as the site of the first mass.

Q

  2. Mazaua

Q

Using an interdisciplinary approach in his historical investigation, Amalla said,

“Alone among the different Philippine languages, only Butuanon and its derivative language, (1), has the word masawa, which means (2)”

It was the island’s bright light the night before that prompted Magellan to land in Mazaua.
