VELASCO JR., J. |

| Moreover, it cannot be said that since none of the prosecution witnesses saw the falsification actually done by petitioner, she cannot be held liable. The bank tellers who processed the illegal transactions of petitioner involving the account of Remedios were consistent in their testimonies that it was petitioner herself who presented the encashment slips and received the proceeds of the slips. In such a situation, the applicable rule is that if a person has in his possession a falsified document and he made use of it, taking advantage of it and profiting from it, the presumption is that he is the material author of the falsification.[9] In the instant case, petitioner has failed to overthrow the presumption. | |||||
