MAY THE REGIONAL STATE PROSECUTOR FILE AN INFORMATION IN COURT?

> No,  unless  he  has  the  prior  written  approval  of  the  city  or provincial or chief state prosecutor

> Thus, even if the accused already entered a plea to an information filed  alone  by  the  Regional  State  prosecutor,  the  court  may  still dismiss the same on the ground that it didn't acquire jurisdiction over the case since it was filed by one who is not authorized
