LIMASAWA, Southern Leyte, April 15 (PIA)   This historical island is poised to add another first aside from being the venue of the first Easter Sunday celebration of the Eucharist, March 31, 500 years ago in the Philippines and in Asia. On March 29, 1521, or two days before the iconic scene of the Easter Sunday Mass, the “Kasi-Kasi” was conducted between the traveler Magellan and Rajah Kolambu, king of Limasawa, and kasi-kasi meant blood compact signifying brotherhood, according to Usec. Anthony Gerard Gonzales of the Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas (OPAV). “Historical accounts are silent on procedure of the custom, but the remarkable feature is that the two leaders both drank wine in mixture of blood drawn from either their arm or chest,” Gonzales said during the unveiling of the Limasawa quincentennial marker in the afternoon of March 31 at the municipal grounds in barangay Cabulihan.
