   The firstrecorded Catholic Mass in the Philippines was celebrated on March 31, 1521, during Ferdinand Magellan’s expedition. It was officiated by Fr. Pedro de Valderrama, marking the beginning of Christianity in the country.

   This eventis significant because it symbolizes the introduction of Christianity to the Philippines, which later became the foundation of the country’s dominant religion. It also marked the start of Spanish colonial influence, shaping the Philippines culture, traditions, and history for centuries.

  Was the firstMass held in Limasawa or Butuan?
• 7.
  Limasawa Claim: Manyhistorians and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) support that the first Mass was held on March 31, 1521 in Limasawa, Southern Leyte. This is based on Antonio Pigafetta’s account, who was Magellan’s chronicler. Butuan Claim: Some argue that the first Mass actually took place in Butuan (Agusan del Norte), pointing to old local traditions and historical markers as evidence.
