    GEC102-Compare and Contrast

    1) The document compares and contrasts the evidence for whether Butuan or Limasawa was the site of the first Catholic mass in the Philippines, celebrated by Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. 2) Evidence in favor of Limasawa includes accounts from Pigafetta and Albo's log book, while evidence for Butuan includes a monument erected there in 1872 and local oral tradition. 3) However, the document concludes that the site was most likely Limasawa based on the accuracy of the chronology of events described in Pigafetta and Albo's accounts compared to later sources supporting Butuan that were based on second-hand information.

    error occurred while studying the history of the site of the first mass in the Philippines. It must be remembered
    that the Butuan tradition is based on second hand information.
