hi atty,
my brother in law used to worked as treasurer in a barangay in bikol. during his term, he was forced to sign a cheq by unidentified men whom we suspects are NPA, forging the signature of the secretary. then he was asked to encash the cheq but wasnt able to encash due to discrepancy in signature. He is no longer in service at present. But the present barangay captain, filed a case against him for falsification of public document. Aside from the captain, another case from the secretary & the husband of the secretary. so 3 cases was filed against him for the same act or offense. Is this valid atty? does that mean he should bail for the 3 cases? how much? and what case can we counter file against these people since theres intimidation involved in the case. Hope you can reply asap. thank you so much.
