	GR No. 154295 2005-07-29	METROMEDIA TIMES CORPORATION v. JOHNNY PASTORIN TINGA, J.
Anent the first assignment of error, there are divergent jurisprudential doctrines touching on this issue. On the one hand are the cases of Martinez v. Merced,[20] Marquez v. Secretary of Labor,[21] Ducat v. Court of Appeals,[22] Bayoca v. Nogales,[23] Jimenez v. Patricia,[24] Centeno v. Centeno,[25] and ABS-CBN Supervisors Employee Union Members v. ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation,[26] all adhering to the doctrine that a party's active participation in the actual proceedings before a court without jurisdiction will estop him from assailing such lack of jurisdiction. Respondent heavily relies on this doctrinal jurisprudence.
