	GR Nos. 155322-29 2012-06-27	BASES CONVERSION DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY v. PROVINCIAL AGRARIAN REFORM OFFICER OF PAMPANGA LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
It is a basic rule that jurisdiction is determined by the allegations in the complaint. [42] The BCDA's complaints did not contain any allegation that would, even in the slightest, imply that the issue to be resolved in this case involved an agrarian dispute. In the action filed by the BCDA, the issue to be resolved was who between the BCDA and the private respondents and their purported predecessors-in-interest, have a valid title over the subject properties in light of the relevant facts and applicable laws. The case thus involves a controversy relating to the ownership of the subject properties, which is beyond the scope of the phrase "agrarian dispute."[43]
