| First, jurisdiction over the subject matter is determined only by the Constitution and by law.[82] As a matter of substantive law, procedural rules alone can confer no jurisdiction to courts or administrative agencies.[83] In fact, an administrative agency, acting in its quasi-judicial capacity, is a tribunal of limited jurisdiction and, as such, could wield only such powers that are specifically granted to it by the enabling statutes. In contrast, an RTC is a court of general jurisdiction, i.e., it has jurisdiction over cases whose subject matter does not fall within the exclusive original jurisdiction of any court, tribunal or body exercising judicial or quasi-judicial functions.[84] | |||||
