| A word on Republic Act No. 7160[34] which was raised by petitioners in their petition. It expressly requires the parties to undergo a conciliation process under the Katarungang Pambarangay, as a precondition to filing a complaint in court,[35] non-compliance with this condition precedent does not prevent a court of competent jurisdiction from exercising its power of adjudication over a case unless the defendants object thereto. The objection should be seasonably made before the court first taking cognizance of the complaint, and must be raised in the Answer or in such other pleading allowed under the Rules of Court.[36] | |||||
