Republic of the Philippines
Supreme Court
Manila
 
FIRST DIVISION
 
D E C I S I ON
 
DEL CASTILLO, J.:
 
Breach of contract may give rise to an action for specific performance or rescission of contract.[1] It may also be the cause of action in a complaint for damages filed pursuant to Art. 1170 of the Civil Code.[2] In the specific performance and rescission of contract cases, the subject matter is incapable of pecuniary estimation, hence jurisdiction belongs to the Regional Trial Court (RTC). In the case for damages, however, the court that has jurisdiction depends upon the total amount of the damages claimed.
