In the exercise of its plenary legislative power, Congress may create administrative agencies endowed with quasi legislative and quasi-judicial powers. Necessarily, Congress likewise defines the limits of an agency's jurisdiction in the same manner as it defines the jurisdiction of courts. As a result, it may happen that either a court or an administrative agency has exclusive jurisdiction over a specific matter or both have concurrent jurisdiction on the same. xxx[48] | |||||

The main issue raised by Tolentino et al. in their petition before the trial court was the validity of JC No. 99-3 insofar as it provided for the deduction of the government's share on GSIS contributions from the 20% premium given to contractual employees, in lieu of leave benefits. Such issue, pertaining as it does to the coverage, collection and payment of GSIS contributions, is a dispute over which the GSIS exercises exclusive and original jurisdiction. This jurisdiction of the GSIS was also recognized by this Court in Government Service Insurance System v. Commission on Audit.[52] It was therefore error for the trial court, though it is a court of general jurisdiction,[53] to assume jurisdiction over the same. | |||||
