Question -- Distinguish jurisdiction from venue.
ANSwer:
1. Jurisdiction is the authority to hear and determine a case; venue is the place where the case is to be heard or tried;
2. Jurisdiction is a matter of substantive law; venue, of procedural law;
3. Jurisdiction establishes a relation between the court and the subject matter; venue, a relation between plaintiff and defendant, or petitioner and respondent; and
4. Jurisdiction is fixed by law and cannot be conferred by the parties; venue may be conferred by the act or agreement of the parties. (Nocum, et al. v. Lucio Tan, G.R. No. 145022, September 23, 2005).
