First Mass in the Philippines

Date

31 March 1521 (Easter Sunday)

Location

Most possibly Mazaua, Southern Leyte or Masao, Caraga, Mindanao

Today, this site is widely believed by many historians and the government to be Limasawa at the tip of Southern Leyte,[1][2] though this was contested by some who assert that the first mass was instead held at Masao, Butuan.[3]

To end the conflict for the issue about the first mass, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) panel adopted the recommendation and unanimously agreed that the evidence and arguments presented by the pro-Butuan advocates are not sufficient and convincing enough to warrant the repeal or reversal of the ruling on the case by the NHI (National Historical Institute). It is further strengthen by the evidence that it was only after 22 years, on 1543 - Next Spanish expedition led by Ruy de Villalobos lands in Mindanao.[4].

Answer 2

• The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) has found that Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and his Spanish delegation held the ceremony in Limasawa town, Southern Leyte, eight months before the 500th anniversary of the "first" Mass in the nation.
• The NHCP endorsed the expert panel's decision, which confirmed earlier conclusions that the 1521 Easter Sunday Mass was held in Limasawa and not Butuan as some historians have claimed.
• It demonstrates the spread of Christianity, especially Roman Catholicism, throughout the islands.
• There was no Philippines at the time the first mass was held on Limasawa Island, which is a part of Leyte.
• The archipelago was first given the name Filipinas in 1542 by Ruy Lopez de Villalobos in honour of Crown Prince Felipe II of Spain.
• When Miguel Lopez de Legazpi officially colonised the Philippines in 1565, Catholicism was already being spread throughout the islands at that time.
• The same Catholicism that has shaped the identity as Filipinos is still pervasive among Filipinas today.
• Because of this, the first mass celebrated on the islands is a significant historical occasion that will be remembered during the approaching V Centennial Celebration of the Magallanes-Elcano Expedition in March-April 2021.
