Why can KP cannot handle cases involving real properties not found in the same city or

municipalities?
As a community-based mechanism for dispute resolution, it covers disputes between members
of the same community (generally, same city/municipality). The Katarungang Pambarangay has
its own jurisdiction specified by law and handling cases such as conflict on real properties not
found within the same locality is already beyond the scope and limitation of their authority as
Katarungang Pambarangay.
Why can KP cannot mediate cases where there is no offended party or cases where there is no
victim is involved.
This case shall be referred as victimless case, in which the Katarungang Pambarangay has no
absolute jurisdiction about. The KP can only initiate mediation if there is an aggravated or
offended party, therefore it is unlikely to for the Katarungay Pambarangay to conduct
settlement on this case.
What is the difference between summary and original jurisdiction of the MTC

The summary jurisdiction is violations where the penalty does not exceed 6 months
imprisonment and/or a 1,000 fine, and Under Section 32 (2) of BP Blg. 29, MTC shall
exercise exclusive original jurisdiction over all offenses with imprisonment not exceeding 6
years "irrespective of the amount of the amount of fine."
