RE: LETTER OF CA JUSTICE VICENTE S.E. VELOSO FOR ENTITLEMENT TO LONGEVITY PAY FOR HIS SERVICES AS COMMISSION MEMBER III OF NLRC RE: REQUEST OF CA JUSTICE REMEDIOS A. SALAZAR-FERNANDO THAT HER SERVICES AS MTC JUDGE
BRION, J.
A basic principle of statutory construction is that a special law prevails over a general law.[30] A later enactment like RA 9347 and RA 10071 cannot override BP 129 because the latter, as a special law, must prevail regardless of the dates of the enactment of these other laws.[31]

MANOLO P. SAMSON v. REYNALDO B. DAWAY
YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
Moreover, the settled rule in statutory construction is that in case of conflict between a general law and a special law, the latter must prevail.  Jurisdiction conferred by a special law to Regional Trial Courts must prevail over that granted by a general law to Municipal Trial Courts.[8]
