FALSIFICATION OF PUBLIC /PRIVATE DOCUMENTS

i would likt o open a topic not much relate to me but im so paranoid that maybe our company still investogate and insist I also falsificate some documetns.
maisasama po ba un sa case ko?
how much po at ano ang kaakibat na kaparusahan?
how much wuld be the bail?

if the falsification of private documents facilitated the cause of damage, then the proper charge is falsification not estafa.

penalty is 4-6 years. bail is P12,000.00

note that it is possible that there is one count of falsification for each falsified document.

Last Feb. 15, I have received a resolution (the first incidence i knew that I had an estafa case). It says there that it is resolved that I have 26 counts of estafa thru falsification of commercial document.

We immediately went to the hall of justice to get a copy of the complaint. In the complaint, it was said there that they are complaining because i have forged a private document. 15 days of receipt of the resolution, we filed a motion for reconsideration (march 2). On March 4, my warrant of arrest has been filed and was supposed to be served.

My lawyer went to the fiscal to ask why there was already a warrant of arrest. The fiscal replied that they usually file cases to court 15 days after the date of sending out the letters (not on the date of receipt of the letter). Please verify if this is true. Because I am hellbent on making them pay for their misdemeanor. I am filing an administrative case against these people who have taken an oath to serve the people.

I have posted bail. Filed a motion to hold in abeyance. The ORDER that we got now states this type of criminal case: For Falsification of Private Document. Is that even legal? to have changing headings? I mean if they have resolved the case surely it is not the court who would help you to make the correct charges, right?

Please help and give me good advice. My enemies are FILTHY RICH! They are actually my ex-parent-in-laws.

As for the matter of forgery, i did not do it. i worked for their company when i was still married to their son until dec. 2008.

darklord, since you have a lawyer, it is really best to direct these questions to him unless you tell us that he has been negligent.

fifteen days after sending? most fiscals file it on the SAME DAY as sending, so you got a better deal than most. and it does not matter when they filed the information, what matters is that the judge actually reviewed the records before issuing the warrant of arrest.

the title on the document might be just an error. what is controlling is the offense charged in the information.

based on your description, it does sound more like it should be falsification of private document, unless we're talking checks here.

i recommend you also file a motion for reinvestigation because you weren't notified to file your counter affidavit, although this was supposed to be filed within 5 days from finding out about the case which is normally computed from posting bail.
