SO ORDERED.
Narvasa (C.J.), Regalado, Romero, Bellosillo, Melo,
Puno, Vitug, Kapunan, Mendoza, Panganiban, Martinez,
Quisumbing and Purisima, JJ., concur.
Petition granted.
Notes.In citing the Supreme Courts decisions and
rulings, it is the bounden duty of courts, judges and
lawyers to reproduce or copy the same wordforword and
punctuation markforpunctuation mark. Only from said
Tribunals decisions and rulings do all other courts, as well
as lawyers and litigants, take their bearings. This is
because the decisions referred to in Article 8 of the Civil
Code which reads, Judicial decisions applying or
interpreting the laws or the Constitution shall form part of
the legal system of the Philippines, are only those
enunciated by this Court of last resort. (Insular Life
Assurance Co., Ltd. Employees AssociationNATU vs.
Insular Life Assurance Co., Ltd., 37 SCRA 244 [1971])
A later enactment like R.A. No. 7691 does not
automatically override an existing law, because it is well
settled principle of construction that, in case of conflict
between a general law and a special law, the latter must
prevail regardless of the dates of their enactment
jurisdiction conferred by a special law on the RTC must
therefore prevail over that granted by a general law on the
MTC. (Manzano vs. Valera, 292 SCRA 66 [1998])
