1. Based on Pigafetta's account, where was the first mass held? Elucidate your answer.

The place was named "Mazaua" by Antonio Pigafetta, a chronicler of the Magellan expedition.
It has been said that the first Mass was held on March 31, 1521, an Easter Sunday. The First
Mass was held in Butuan, Agusan del Norte, specifically on an island called Masao, according to
early accounts, mostly by friars relying on accessible writings and tradition. Some speculate that
the location is the island of Limasawa in the province of Leyte. Others, however, believe
Pigafetta was referring to Masao, a community located at the mouth of the Agusan River near
which is now the city of Butuan.
2. How is the controversy in the primary source relevant to Filipino life today?
Records, letters, illustrations, and memoirs—made  by those who took part in or witnessed
historical events tell us something that even the best-written article or book cannot. Filipinos
are introduced to important historical concepts through the use of primary sources. For
starters, the people realize that all written history reflects an author's interpretation of
historical events. As a result, when they read a historical account, they will be able to discern its
subjective nature. Second, by using historical documents, they can gain direct access to the
lives of people from the past. Furthermore, by using primary sources, the people develop
critical analytical thinking. People are drawn to primary sources because they are authentic and
personal; they help to humanize history. Filipinos use primary sources to immerse themselves
in the lives of those about whom history is written. They are a part of human emotions as well
as past values and attitudes. These human expressions add color and excitement to history and
connect the people directly to its history and origin.
3. Based on the Jose Montero account, how are the priests Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos
and Jacinto Zamora involved in the Cavite Mutiny?
The authorities received information at various times, but particularly at the start of the year
1872. Anonymized messages with information about a massive uprising against the regime
would erupt against the Spaniards, the minute they fleet at Cavite left for the south, and that
everyone, including the friars, would be assassinated. As a consequence of statements made by
some of the detainees, several people were arrested. Don Jose Burgos and D. Jacinto Zamora,
curates of the Cathedral, D. Mariano Gomez, curate of Bacoor (Cavite). On February 15th, the
Filipino priests were sentenced to death by strangulation.
4. On the part of Governor General Rafael de Izquierdo, what was his position over the
case against Gomburza?
He kept insisting that the rebellion was instigated and planned by native clergy, mixed race
people, and lawyers as a protest against the government's social injustice such as not paying
provinces for tobacco crops, paying tribute, and enforcing forced labor. It is unclear whether
Indios intended to establish a monarchy or a sovereign state because they lack a word in their
own language to describe this distinct system of government, whose ruler would be referred to
as "hari" in Filipino. However, it turned out that they would appoint a priest as the high court
leader of the government, and that the leader chosen would be Jose Burgos or Jacinto Zamora,
which was the plan of the rebels who guided them and the means they relied on.
