Book III, and Sec. 515, Title I, Book IV, R.A. 7160, otherwise known as the
Local Government Code of 1991], and prior recourse thereto is a pre-

instrumentality thereof;

[2] Where one party is a public officer or employee and the dispute relates
to the performance of his official functions;

[3] Where the dispute involves real properties located in different cities and
municipalities, unless the parties thereto agree to submit their difference to
amicable settlement by an appropriate Lupon;

entities, since only individuals shall be parties to Barangay conciliation
proceedings either as complainants or respondents [Sec. 1, Rule VI,
Katarungang Pambarangay Rules];

[5] Disputes involving parties who actually reside in barangays of different


cities or municipalities, except where such barangay units adjoin each other
and the parties thereto agree to submit their differences to amicable
settlement by an appropriate Lupon;

imprisonment exceeding one [1] year or a fine of over five thousand pesos
(P5,000.00);

[7] Offenses where there is no private offended party;

relations [Montoya vs. Escayo, et al., 171 SCRA 442; Art. 226, Labor Code,
