L2.Respondent Moreno could not feign ignorance because slre knows me p"rrorully. She ought to have known that I did not execut'enor sign the beed of Absolute Sale. She is obviously a part of this criminal act considering that she is related to Respondent Faustino. The latter's 'stepfath.r,li**y Collado, and Respondent Moreno are siblings. It stands to reason,therefore,that the criminal act could not have been completed, or at the very least facilitated, withotrrt her knowledgu and consent. By no stretch of thl imagination could y. assume that she is a buyer-in-goodwith one another, conspiring wi hndant,by conspiring faith. At the iisk of sounding redrlndant, Moreno forged and my wife and I's Res RespondentFaustino and Respon$ent signatures in the simulated Deed of Absolute Sale in order to have the property owned by us transferred !o the name of RespondentMoreno.
between the Respondents in 13. To further show the conspiracy that existed ' rh rsp.rl-4od fr^ df Atrnanlute Sale WaS allegedly thfu r"-- s,hil

Faustino and Moreno should be held liable for,what they L4.Respondents havl dbne. Their criminal act of falsifying our signaturesand simulatihg 1 Eeed of Absolute Sale must not go unpunished. The pain, dibtress,and I ''' t d"*ug" that they have cause me and my family is qmqtionally unbearable.It is but just that a case be filed against for commifting the as complex crime, of Estafa through.
