GROUNDS
(1) UNDER PARAGRAPH 2, SECTION 19 OF BATAS
PAMBANSA BLG. 129, AS AMENDED BY REPUBLIC
ACT NO. 7691, THIS HONORABLE COURT HAS NO
JURISDICTION OVER THE INSTANT ACTION.
(2) UNDER SECTION 1, RULE 4 OF THE 1997 RULES OF
CIVIL PROCEDURE, THE VENUE IS IMPROPERLY LAID.
DISCUSSION OF GROUNDS
(1)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;
(2) In all civil actions which involve the title to, or
possession of, real property, or any interest therein, where the
assessed value of the property involved exceeds Twenty
thousand pesos (P20,000,00) or, for civil actions in Metro Manila,
where such value exceeds Fifty thousand pesos (P50,000.00)
except actions for forcible entry into and unlawful detainer of
lands or buildings, original jurisdiction over which is conferred
upon the Metropolitan Trial Courts, Municipal Trial Courts,
and Municipal Circuit Trial Courts;
Apparent from the above quoted rule that the assessed value of
the property involved determines the jurisdiction over civil actions
involving title to, possession of, real property, or any interest therein.
(2)
provides as follows:
Section 1. Venue of real actions. Actions affecting title
to or possession of real property, or interest therein, shall be
commenced and tried in the proper court which has
jurisdiction over the area wherein the real property
involved, or a portion thereof, is situated.

(b)
-8The Complaint states that both the plaintiff and the defendants
are residents of Sta. Cruz, Ligao City in Albay. Moreover, the case at
bar does not fall within the exceptions enumerated by the the Local
Government Code of 1991. Thus, it is a requirement under the law
that they must put an effort to settle their differences amicably before
the Lupon of the said barangay.
However, no such effort was made. In fact, the plaintiff filed
the instant case without any Certification to File Action coming from
the Punong Barangay. It logically follows that the case filed by the
plaintiff must be dismissed for failure of the plaintiff to comply with
the condition precedent required by law before a civil case may be
filed before this Honorable Court.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, in view of all the foregoing, it is respectfully prayed
that the instant action be dismissed, with costs and against the
Plaintiffs.
