A forci'le entr!Iunlawful detainer action has an
entirel! different su'ject matter from that of an action
for reconve!ance. The former involves material
possession- and the latter- ownership. Thus- the
pendenc! of an action for reconve!ance does not divestthe MTC of its jurisdiction over an action for F>I8- nor
will it preclude execution of judgment in the ejectment
case where the onl! issue involved is material
possession.
