Practice question

- Yes, every MTC judge ordinarily conducts DOJ-NPS investigation
- Yes, every trial is itself a preliminary investigation
- No; Meking recognizes the prosecutorial domain following the 2005 revisions
- No court can ever determine judicial probable cause
- Only the complainant conducts the investigation
