What was Carlo Amoretti's role in making the name Gatighan the waystation of Magellan's Armada into the isle named Limasawa What was his proof in saying Limasaua was Mazaua?

Carlo Amoretti played a crucial role in identifying Limasawa as the historic Mazaua, a waystation of Magellan's Armada, by analyzing historical accounts and geographical descriptions from the expedition. He argued that Limasawa matched the descriptions of Mazaua's location, particularly its proximity to the mouth of a river and its suitability for harboring ships. Amoretti's proof relied on cross-referencing Magellan's own logs and accounts from other explorers, emphasizing the island's characteristics that aligned with those of Mazaua. His work helped solidify Limasawa's significance in the history of early European exploration in the Philippines.
