Petitioner,
is that he is the material author of the falsification. This is especially true if the use
or uttering of the forged documents was so closely connected in time with the
forgery that the user or possessor may be proven to have the capacity of
committing the forgery, or to have close connection with the forgers. (U.S. v.

JOSE C. GO, AIDA C. DELA ROSA, and FELECITAS D. NECOMEDES,**
Respondents.
G.R. No. 191015, August 6, 2014
As to the respondents respective participation in the commission of the crime,
suffice it to state that as the beneficiary of the proceeds, Go is presumed to be the
author of the falsification. The fact that previously, his personal checks totaling
P145,488,274.48 were dishonored, and the day after, the amount of
P120,819,475.00 was immediately credited to his account, which included funds
from the encashment of Managers Check Nos. 0000003340 and 0000003347 or
the loan proceeds of the supposed Timmys, Inc. and Asia Textile Mills, Inc.
accounts, bolsters this view. "[W]henever someone has in his possession falsified
documents [which he used to] his advantage and benefit, the presumption that he
authored it arises."
x x x This is especially true if the use or uttering of the forged documents was so
closely connected in time with the forgery that the user or possessor may be proven
to have the capacity of committing the forgery, or to have close connection with
the forgers, and therefore, had complicity in the forgery.
In the absence of a satisfactory explanation, one who is found in possession of a
forged document and who used or uttered it is presumed to be the forger.
