LANDSCAPE
The first Holy Mass was celebrated not in the Visayas but in Mindanao because that historical event, that first step to staking territory in the name of God and King, occurred not in Limasawa which is part of the Visayas, but in Butuan (Mazaua) situated in northern Mindanao. Please do not think that I am unilaterally and presumptuously overturning the final decision of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (formerly called National Historical Institute).
When bona fide historians clash swords, gore each other with codices, translations and digital copies in hi-resolution, stab with cartographic rolls unearthed in eminent archives, brandish ancient eye-witness accounts, it is best for humble history buffs like me to take cover and watch from a safe distance.
