What is Jurisdiction Ruling: Geonzon v Legaspi Case about?

The Supreme Court granted the petition, set aside the Court of Appeals decision, and declared the RTC decision null and void for lack of jurisdiction. The assessed value of the land according to the tax declaration was P11,160, which is below the P20,000 threshold for RTC jurisdiction. Jurisdiction instead lies with the municipal trial court, as the assessed value determines jurisdiction rather than the estimated value written on the complaint.
