Respondent.

REPLY-AFFIDAVIT
COMPLAINANTS, represented herein by their attorney-in-fact
FAK SUNG (MANNY) QUIJANO CHANG ("Manny"), of legal age,
married, after having been sworn in accordance with law, does hereby
deposes and states that:
1
Briefly, complainants are the lawful owners of a house and lot
located at No. 139 Pearl St., Francis Subdivision, Meycauayan, Bulacan
with a total land area of 258 square meters. They left the country
sometime in 1994 in order to work and reside in the United States of
America. Complainant Zenaida entrusted the care and POSSESSION &
CONTROL of the aforesaid house and lot to his brother, Manny Quijano.
Thus, since 1994, Manny has actual possession of the property. In 2003,
when Manny tried to go inside the said property, he was surprised to find
out that there was already a stranger inside the house. That stranger
which Manny met for the first time is the respondent herein. When
Manny tried to lawfully enforce his possession over the said property,
respondent came out angrily and claimed that he was an officer of the
Bureau of Internal Revenue and that he was allegedly the owner of the
said property. When Manny told the respondent that he was the brother of
the owner of the property and that he should immediately leave the
premises, the respondent, in response, told Manny menacingly that he
will SHOOT AND KILL him if he does not leave the property. In view
of such intimidation perpetrated by the respondent, Manny, fearful of his
life, had no other recourse but to give up possession of the property to the
respondent.
Where are the receipts of the payments made by the respondent and
duly acknowledged by the complainants? NONE. The Respondent
claimed that he was allegedly an officer of the BIR, as such, he could
have easily asked for receipts of the payments which he allegedly made in
favor of the complainant. Non-presentation thereof simply shows that
there were really no payments made by the respondent to speak of.
Where is the alleged "evidence" that will show that the complainant
allegedly authorized any other person to sell the subject property in favor
of the respondent? NONE.

such fake GPA only to serves to prove the crime of estafa and or
falsification committed by the respondent.
Article 172 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC) punishes any private
individual who commits any of the acts of falsification enumerated in Art.
171 of the Code in any public or official document or letter of exchange
or any other kind of commercial document. The acts of falsification
enumerated in Art. 171 are:

CRIME is formed by the two crimes. (Ambito v. People, G.R. No.
127327, February 13, 2009)
Under Art. 48 of the RPC, a complex crime refers to: (1) the
commission of at least two grave or less grave felonies that must both (or
all) be the result of a single act; or (2) one offense must be a necessary
means for committing the other (or others).
In the case before us, all the elements of estafa are present. Once
respondent acquired the possession of the real property by means of
intimidation, he is now cementing his claim of ownership through deceit
by way of the falsified notarized document. Up to now, respondent is in
possession of the aforesaid property, to the damage and prejudice of the
complainants.
