	GR No. 194751 2014-11-26	AURORA N. DE PEDRO v. ROMASAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION LEONEN, J.
Jurisdiction over the subject matter refers to the power or authority of courts to hear and decide cases of a general class.[73] It is conferred by the Constitution or by law.[74] It is not acquired through administrative issuances or court orders. It is not acquired by agreement, stipulation, waiver,[75] or silence.[76] Any decision by a court, without a law vesting jurisdiction upon such court, is void.
	GR NO. 158867 2006-08-22	JIMMY BANTING v. SPS. JOSE MAGLAPUZ AND RAYMUNDA BANDIN MAGLAPUZ AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
As to the jurisdiction of the MeTC, this can be determined from the complaint itself. It plainly states that the last demand was made by respondents upon petitioners on August 9, 1999. The complaint for ejectment was filed on September 21, 1999 or before the lapse of the one-year period. It was therefore properly filed with the MeTC.[58]
