Assessment Task 1

Mr. Pay Person is the Department Chair of the Computer Science (CS) Department of TABAKO University
while Ms. Lee is Mr. Person’s secretary. Tabako University is using a computer system where faculty
members are required to personally encode the grades of students, print the grade sheet and submit the
signed grade sheet to the department’s chair concerned for signature before submitting the hard copy to
the registrar’s office. Even if the grade sheets are not printed, the same is stored in the computer system
and a student concerned will have his grade in the transcript of his records. The printed grade sheet is
just a back-up of the computer system in case of system failure.

On March 21 2015, all the grade sheets were already submitted by all CS instructors to Ms. Jane.
However, Jane could not submit the same to the registrar’s office because the grade sheets were NOT
yet signed by Mr. Person who attended an intensive Java Boot Camp Seminar being held in Mindanao.
Without the knowledge of Mr. Person, Ms. Jane forged the signature of Mr. Person and personally signed
on the grade sheet. Jane told herself, “if I will NOT do it, we will be late in the submission of the grade
sheets; anyway Sir Jay’s signature is only a formal requirement”.

Question:

1. Is Ms. Jane guilty of Computer related forgery? Why? Why not?


2. Is the guilty of forgery under the Revised Penal Code? Why? Why not?
