93. G. V. Florida Transit Inc.

vs Tiara Commercial Corporation 842 SCRA (2017)


Under Section 20 of Rule 14, voluntary appearance of a defendant is equivalent to service of
summons, which then gives a court jurisdiction over such defendant. Section 20 of Rule 14 of the
Rules of Court provides that so long as a defendant raises the issue of lack of jurisdiction, he or
she is allowed to include other grounds of objection. In such case, there is no voluntary
appearance.
