Vicente Calibo de Jesús has specialized in Renaissance navigation history particularly on Mazaua historiography. He is the only Asian who joined the Hakluyt Society and The Society for the History of Discoveries. He is also the only Asian member of the Discovery Exploration e-list forum whose members are largely from the above two societies.

He moderates a webpage, MagellansPortMazaua@yahoogroups.com, devoted to an earnest search for solution to the Mazaua puzzle. The site has the most comprehensive resource on the issue that can be found on the Net or in print. (Anyone interested to join can just subscribe.) On October 13, 2000 he brought before the attention of the world’s leading experts on navigation, exploration, cartographic, geographic history the problem of Mazaua at an international gathering held at the U.S. Library of Congress.

He has written several articles at Wikipedia among these on Ginés de Mafra, Carlo Amoretti, Jacques N. Bellin, Ruy Lopez de Villalobos, Gatighan, Ceilon/Seilani which have been published on at least 90-110 sites on the web.
