| First. Conformably with what this Court ruled in Sia v. People,[16] the CA correctly upheld the public prosecutor's authority to file the criminal information for violation of P.D. 957 and the trial court's power to hear and adjudicate the action, the penalty being a P20,000.00 fine and imprisonment of not exceeding 10 years or both such fine and imprisonment. This penalty brings the offense within the jurisdiction of that court. | |||||
