	SITE OF FIRST MASS IN LUZON REVISITED
		Magallanes, Sorsogon July 14, 2003 By GINA RODRIGUEZ (MALAYA) AS far as Rogerio Escobal is concerned, nothing compares with the loveliness of his hometown of Magallanes, one of Sorsogon's 16 towns in the Bicol region where the first Catholic mass in Luzon was celebrated in 1569.
		Escobal recalled this past when Magallanes was known as Gibalon or Ibalon, an important center of trade and commerce during the Spanish period, during a lecture he delivered during the last Lenten season.
		Magallanes will continue "to be a deep wellspring" from which he would draw inspiration but Escobal's fond wish is to see more of his kababayan or fellow Bicolanos becoming more aware of their glorious heritage through what he has written.
