Was the first ever mass in the Philippines celebrated on this date? How about the place, have the scholars agreed at last?

The first mass in the Philippines was on Easter Sunday March 31, 1521
- in an island named Mazaua by eyewitnesses Antonio Pigafetta,
Ginés de Mafra, Francisco Albo, the Genoese pilot, and MartÃn de Ayamonte,
at a location today universally—and mistakenly—believed to be Limasawa,
a town islet to the tip of Southern Leyte province,
and is said to be the birthplace of Roman Catholicism in the country.
The historical event, viewed largely in its religious context in the Philippines
but more comprehensively in its global context as a fleeting episode of the 1,081-day
circumnavigation of the world,
came to pass when Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan
and his Armada de Molucca of three sailing ships,
landed in the western port of the island of Mazaua.
