PERLAS-BERNABE, J.
As correctly pointed out by the CA, the authenticity of a signature is a matter that is not so highly technical as to preclude a judge from examining the signature himself and ruling upon the question of whether the signature on a document is forged or not.[37] The opinion of a handwriting expert, therefore, does not mandatorily bind the court,[38] the expert's function being to place before the court data upon which it can form its own opinion.[39]
