ISSUE:
HELD:
In the instant case, Nippon, in its MTD, does not claim that the
RTC is not properly vested by law w/ jurisdiction to hear the
subject controversy for a civil case for specific performance &
damages is one not capable of pecuniary estimation & is properly
cognizable by the RTC of Lipa City. What they rather raise as
grounds to question subject matter jurisdiction are the principles
of lex loci celebrationis and lex contractus, and the “state of the
most significant relationship rule.” The Court finds the invocation
of these grounds unsound.
