Practice question
A plaintiff relies solely on Section5(f) but admits that a valid agreement expressly specifies which law governs the parties’ relations. No independent jurisdictional category is established. It claims that a demand below PHP200000 makes the agreement condition irrelevant. Which is correct?
- Amount alone is the entire provision
- The stated no-governing-law-agreement condition must also be satisfied
- Any low demand erases all other conditions
- Every agreement automatically confers Circuit jurisdiction
- The court can delete the qualification
