Venue is jurisdictional in criminal cases. It can neither be waived nor subjected to
stipulation. The right venue must exist
as a matter of law. Thus, for
territorial jurisdiction to attach, the criminal action must be instituted and
tried in the proper court of the municipality, city, or province where the
offense was committed or where any of its essential ingredients took place.
