    A mayor was charged with violation of an anti-graft law before the Sandiganbayan. A new law was passed limiting the Sandiganbayan's jurisdiction, and the mayor argued his case should be dismissed. The Supreme Court ruled that the Sandiganbayan's jurisdiction is determined by the accused person's position and salary grade, not the new law. As a mayor's salary grade falls under the Sandiganbayan's exclusive jurisdiction, it was not divested of jurisdiction over the mayor's case.
