| General Note |
- General note - This tablet has caused many Agusan residents to claim that the first Mass in the Philippines was held in their place instead of Limasawa. A simple marker used to commemorate the spot in Agusan, but as the shore eroded, district Governor Jose Maria Carvallo in 1872 had this marble slab made at the base of a monument which was also later destroyed by swift currents of the Agusan river. It now lies inside the campus of the elementary school of barrio Magallanes, which became a municipality in 1971. Caravallo based his claim on the assertion by the French traveler, Jean Mallat in his book "Les Iles Philippines" published in Paris in 1846, that the first mass was held there. Pigafetta, however, stated it took place in Limasawa on Easter Sunday of 1521; and since he was an eyewitness to the event, Mallat's claim has no basis in fact.
