The accused are also guilty of the crime of Falsification of Public Document under paragraph 4 of Article 171 of the Revised Penal Code.
The cases above started from a complaint filed by City Administrator Dionnie Gersana stating that Ex-Councilor President Elipe approved the full attendance of Pristine Elipe Quizon during the working days of October 6-31, 2013, even though Quizon was out of the country on October 25, 29, and 30. Moreover, Quizon also received her salary for that period without a deduction from her absences.
