    Julia Maniego was acquitted of criminal charges for malversation of government funds after checks she endorsed for her sister were dishonored. However, the court ruled she could still be held civilly liable as the endorser of the dishonored checks.

    PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES vs.

    Julia Maniego
    G.R. No. L-30910. | February 27, 1987
    Narvasa, J.

    FACTS:
    Accused-appellant Maniego was an indorser of several checks drawn by her sister, which
    were dishonored after they have been exchanged with cash belonging to the Government.
    Maniego was charged with malversation of funds but was acquitted of the criminal charge.
    Maniego contends that her civil liabilities should also be extinguished claiming that since she is a
    mere indorser she cannot be held liable for the instrument.
     
    ISSUE: Is Maniego liable for the instrument?
     
    RULING:
    Yes. Appellant’s contention that as mere indorser, she may not be made liable on account
    of the dishonor of the checks indorsed by her is untenable. Under the law, the holder or last
    indorsee of a negotiable instrument has the right to “enforce payment of the instrument for the
    full amount thereof against all parties liable thereon.”
