LEARNING ACTIVITIES
A. Complete the following boxes by writing 3 information you learned on the account given
by Antonio Pigafetta and Francisco Albo on their claims about the place where the first
mass was held in the country.
BUTUAN
1. In Albo’s account, he didn’t say the
first Mass but as it were the planting
of the cross upon a mountain top
from which can be seen three islands
to the west and southwest, where they
were told there was much gold.
2. Corresponding to Albo, Magellan
arrived at Butuan, to begin with, then
to Limasawa, and after that to Cebu.
The first Catholic Mass within the
Philippines happened on March 31,
1521, fair three days after Ferdinand
Magellan landed on the Philippine
shore.
3. In Albo's account where he only
specified the planting of the cross
upon a mountain hill, it does not suit
the coast of Butuan from which no
islands could be seen to the south or
the southwest, but as it were towards
the north. It also fits the southern
conclusion of Limasawa.

MAZAUA
Pigafetta specified in his account that
the first Mass was held in Mazaua,
Butuan on Easter Sunday, March 31.
It is complete and is strengthened by
pieces of proving to count the date of
the event conjointly the location.
In Pigafetta's account, a pivotal
perspective of Butuan was not said,
the river. Butuan is a riverine
settlement, arranged on the Agusan
River. The shoreline of Mazaua is
within the delta of the said river. It
could be an inquisitive exclusion
within the account of the river, which
makes a portion of the unmistakable
characteristics of Butuan’s geology
that appeared to be as well critical to
be missed.
In Albo’s account, the area of Mazaua
fits the location of the island of
Limasawa, at the southern tip of
Leyte, 9°54’N. In this way, assuming
that the first mass within the nation
happened in Limasawa.

B. Answer the following questions briefly but COMPREHENSIVELY
1. Do you believe that the Cavite Mutiny was instigated by the 3 priests
(GOMBURZA)? Support your answer.
o No, I don't believe that the Cavite Mutiny was implicated by the three
priests (GOMBURZA). The GOMBURZA was one of the victims of the
Cavite Mutiny. They were executed at the Luneta on February 28, 1872,
due to the untrue allegations of conspiracy and subversion, taking an
assumed dynamic part within the Cavite Mutiny. In less complex words,
they were labeled as the masterminds of the rebellion. I don't believe this
mainly because the essential cause of the mutiny is affirmed to be an order
from Governor-General Rafael de Izquierdo to subject the soldiers of the
Engineering and Artillery Corps to individual charges, from which they
were already excluded. The taxes required them to pay a money related
sum as well as to perform constrained labor called "polo y servicio." The
uprising started on January 20, when the laborers got their pay and
realized the charges as well as the falla, the fine one paid to be excluded
from constrained labor, had been deducted from their pay rates.

2. Whose perspective do you believe regarding the Cavite Mutiny? Why?

o I believe the Filipino perspective concerning the Cavite Mutiny. Tavera’s
account affirmed that the occasion happened due to the discontentment of
the weapons store specialists and soldiers in Cavite fort. Governor-General
Rafael de Izquierdo amplified the occurrence and utilized it as a pardon to
clamp down on those Filipinos who had been calling for governmental
reform. Several Filipino knowledges was seized and charged with
complicity with the rebels, which comes about executing and arresting
them. In this way, the GOMBURZA were freely executed after a brief
trial. These executions, especially those of the GOMBURZA, were to
have a critical impact on individuals since of the shadowy nature of the
trials. Jose Rizal devoted his work, El Filibusterismo, to the executed
clerics. The three hence became saints to the cause of Philippine freedom.

3. Reflection regarding the Cry of the Balintawk or Pugad Lawin. What does the
“Cry of Balintawak” or “Cry of Pugad Lawin” signify?
o The Cry of the Balintawak or Pugad Lawin was the starting of the
Philippine Revolution against the Spanish Realm. Bonifacio and his
colleagues were arranging an across the country revolt. This drive to an
occasion called the "Cry of Pugad Lawin" or the "Cry of Pugad Lawin",
where progressives took portion in a mass tearing of cedulas (community

tax certificates), symbolizing their battle against Spain. The engravings of
"Viva la Independencia Filipina" can moreover be alluded to as the term
for the cry. This truly went with vigorous screams. The “Cry of
Balintawak” or “Cry of Pugad Lawin” signifies that all of us have
announced our severance from the Spaniards. The Cry of Balintawak or
Pugad Lawin happened on August 26, 1896. The Cry is characterized as
the turning point when the Filipinos at long last denied Spanish colonial
domain over the Philippine Islands. In an emotion-laden ceremony, the
warriors tore their cedulas to represent the end of their devotion to Spain
whereas yelling the fight cry: "Long live Philippine independence!" The
occasion went down in Philippine history as the Cry of Balintawak or
Pugad Lawin and is respected as the beginning flag for the Philippine
Revolution. The Philippine Revolution is one of the foremost imperative
happenings within the country’s history, awakening a proud sense of
patriotism for eras of Filipinos to come. In a period of overwhelming
battle and struggle, Filipinos of distinctive foundations joined with a
common objective: to stand up to colonialism.
