Controlling doctrine: the place of the offense governs jurisdiction; because the offense involved hospital property valued over 1,000,000 pesos, the jurisdiction lies with the MTC City Beta; venue: MTC City Beta; proper forum: MTC City Beta; justification: MTC handles offenses under the threshold value (incorrect for this magnitude). Controlling doctrine: the place where the offense occurred governs jurisdiction; the RTC City Gamma has original jurisdiction because the act of fleeing to Gamma constitutes the locus delicti; venue: RTC City Gamma; proper forum: RTC City Gamma; justification: wrong location for the offense. Controlling doctrine: the place where the offense occurred governs; the information must be filed in the court of the place of the offense; the proper forum is RTC City Delta due to arrest location; justification: arrest location fixes the trial court in cross-jurisdiction scenarios (incorrect). Controlling doctrine: the place where the offense was committed governs jurisdiction; the RTC of City Beta has original jurisdiction; the venue for filing the information is RTC City Beta; proper forum: RTC City Beta; justification: the robbery occurred in City Beta and is punishable by more than six years, so RTC has original jurisdiction notwithstanding arrest in City Delta.
