The SSS issued a death benefit check to Tere who was then in Europe and could
not personally encash the same, thus, she requested Tobi, a long time friend, to help
her.

Tobi acceded to the request and immediately advised Tere to look for someone
who can imitate her signature so the check can be signed at the back and eventually
encashed.

The sister of Tere was the one who signed and caused the encashment of the
check, however, it was discovered by SSS which caused Tere to return the money.

The money was restituted and SSS did not suffer any loss but Tobi who happens
to be an employee of SSS was charged with serious dishonesty.

Decide the case.

Norbert was charged with Disgraceful and Immoral Conduct based on the complaint
filed by his wife alleging that he abandoned her and their children, stopped giving them
financial support and has illicit sexual relations with another woman.

After the proceedings the evidence presented established the alleged abandonment and
withholding of financial support but not the illicit sexual relations with another woman,

A motion to dismiss was filed by Noberts counsel arguing that since there was no
evidence of illicit sexual relation with another woman, there is no Disgraceful and Immoral
Conduct to speak of.

Decide the case.

Mon Mendi a Staff Officer II from GSIS was tasked to pay a visit to a handicapped
pensioner for the purpose of enrolling the latter in mobile UMID.

Upon reaching the house, Mon Mandi was met by the Children of the pensioner who
cautioned her against asking their mother to do any physical act as it might cause her stress and
worsen her condition.

Mon Mendi told the children that she will just ask their mother to sign a document but
the children resisted because their mother could not even move her right hand. Mon Mendi
insisted it was needed and further said that if the right hand is immobile then the left can be
used. She also added that other people even learned to use their feet to affix their signature.

The children did not like her statement and filed a complaint against Mon Mendi.

Q. What offense, if any, was committed by Mon Mendi. Explain.
