(Re. 22 October 2014 Counter-Affidavit of
Respondent Nissa 2. Maquiling)
COMES NOW COMPLAINANT, represented by the undersigned Bank Manager, of legal age, Filipino, single
and with residence address at c/o Rural Bank of Plariclel (Misamis Occidental), Inc., Looe Proper, Plaridel, Misamis
Occidental, unto this Honorable Provincial Prosecutor, most respectfully alleges, In Reply to the Counter-Affidavit of
Respondent NissaZ. Maquiling, copy of which was actually received on 24 October 2014 through courier LAC, hereby
depose:
‘That, Conspirsey of Respondent Nissa Z. Maquiling is supported by evidence and that absence of due
diligence on the part of Respandent Nissa Z. Maquiling to deter the occurrence of losses due to the acts of her
subordinate Respondent Katherine Jane B. San Juan (then Teller) having knowledge of the same is clearly an act of
conspiring:
‘That, Needless to state that Respondent Nissa Z. Maquiling has knowledge of the anomalies af Respondent
Katherine Jane B. San Juan when she allowed an 29 October 2013 the use of a pre-slened withdrawal slip to hide or
conceal unaccounted amount or shortage;
‘That, even if the use of a pre-signed withdrawal slip had the permission by the account holder/s 2s alleged
by Respondent Nissa 2. Maquiling cannot erase the illegal act she committed;That, the letter of authorization from Flora Talam was belatedly made and submitted after there was already
‘a charge against Respondents Nissa 2. Maquiling, Jean A. Lawat and Katherine Jane B. San Juan and worst of it after
the act of allowing to use a pre-signed withdrawal slip had by this time transpired;
That, the letter of authorization of one Flora M. Talam was dated 08 October 2014 but was subscribed and
‘sworn only on 17 October 2014 before Respondent Nissa Maquiling’s counsel Atty. Annemarie Acosta-Quiros
recorded as Doc. No. 315; Page No. 63; Book No. 8 and Serias of 2014 in her (Atty. Quiros) Notarial Register;
‘That, the defense of Respondent Nissa E. Maquling, as having so many functions to perform won't justify
her failure to check forged signatures and to deter the losses incurred by the Complainant;
That, Respondent Nissa 2. Maqulling was not forced to pay the P70,000,00 and that there was previous
‘admission fram her that she was the one whe have used or benefited the amaunt, which admission gave the legal
ground for the Complainant to demand payment of the same. In addition, if and whon she was not at fault then, she
should nat allow herself to pay the amount;
‘That, Subsequent payment of Respondent Nissa Z. Maquiling won't obliterate her criminal liability. In Aurora
Tamayo vs. People of the Philippines and Heirs of Pedro Sotto, G.R. No, 174698, July 28, 2008; the Court ruled that
“soe, subsequent payments of the accused does not obliterate criminal liability”
AND SO, glven and based on the above facts, most reputable witnesses, and overwhelming pieces of
evidence duly presented, it is respectfully prayed of the Honorable Provincial Prosecutor that Respondent Nissa €,
Maquiling together with the other Respondents be above-mentioned be held liable for Qualified Theft thru
Falsification of Publie/Private Documents.
