Law);

All other criminal cases where the penalty prescribed by
law for the offense charged is imprisonment not exceeding six months,

pesos (P10,000.00).
This Rule shall not apply to a civil case where the plaintiff's
cause of action is pleaded in the same complaint with another cause of
action subject to the ordinary procedure; nor to a criminal case where
the offense charged is necessarily related to another criminal case
subject to the ordinary procedure."
