What is First Mass in the Philippines: Limasawa vs Butuan about?

This document discusses the controversy around the site of the first mass celebrated in the Philippines. There are two competing claims - one that it took place on the island of Limasawa, and the other that it took place in Butuan. The document examines evidence from the 17th-18th centuries that supports the Butuan tradition, including a monument erected in Butuan in 1872 and accounts from Jesuit historians Francisco Colin and Francisco Combes that describe events occurring in Butuan.
