| As regards Lot No. 5095-A, we find respondent Eldon's detainer suit premature for failure to exhaust all administrative remedies.[39] As aptly pointed out by petitioners,[40] Eldon did not comply[41] with Section 412 of the Local Government Code (LGC), which sets forth a pre-condition to the filing of complaints in court, to wit:SECTION 412. Conciliation. (a) Pre-condition to filing of complaint in court. No complaint, petition, action, or proceeding involving any matter within the authority of the lupon shall be filed or instituted directly in court or any other government office for adjudication, unless there has been a confrontation between the parties before the lupon chairman or the pangkat, and that no conciliation or settlement has been reached as certified by the lupon secretary or pangkat secretary as attested to by the lupon or pangkat chairman or unless the settlement has been repudiated by the parties thereto. | |||||
