Judge on 7 December 1975 and 24 December 1975, in Civil Case No. 231-R of
the then Court of First Instance of Pangasinan. Without costs.
SO ORDERED.
Notes.—What determines the jurisdiction of the court are the facts alleged
in the complaint or petition, not the facts averred in the answer or opposition of
the adverse parties. (Salao vs. Crisostomo, 138 SCRA 17.)
Violation of the State's right to due process raises a serious jurisdictional
issue. Decision rendered in disregard of the fundamental right to due process is
void for lack of jurisdiction. (People vs. Bocar, 138 SCRA 166.)
As a rule, during the pendency of special proceedings, the probate court
retains control and jurisdiction over incidents connected with it, including its
orders not affecting third parties who may have acquired vested
rights. (Candelario vs. Canizares, 4 SCRA 738.)
