| In Alarcon v. Court of Appeals (1967),[145] the Court applied the presumption after considering the "patent irregularity in the transaction"[146] and the "extraordinary interest" of the accused in the property covered by the forged document/s in holding that "no reasonable and fair[-]minded man" would say that the accused had no knowledge of the falsification. Sarep v. Sandiganbayan (1989 case),[147] gave occasion for the ruling that since the accused was the only person who stood to benefit by the falsification of the document found in his possession, the presumption of authorship of the falsification applies in the absence of contrary convincing proof by the accused.[148] | |||||
