4. And since the Petition for Review isunder the lawconsidered
unfiled and the 15-day appeal period has long lapsed, it follows that the assailed
Resolution of the Abra Provincial Prosecutor is already final, executory, and
irreversible. In other words, the said Resolution is already immutable and
unalterable; it can no longer be disturbed, altered, or modifiedand all issues it
pertained to are deemed resolved and permanently laid to rest.1
1 A final order is one which disposes of the whole subject matter or terminates a proceeding or action;
leaving nothing to be done but to enforce by execution what has been determined. It is conclusive on the
matters or issues directly or determined therein and on all issues that could have been raised in relation
thereto. See Republic of the Philippines v. Sandiganbayan [Fourth Division] et al, G.R. No. 152375, December
16, 2011 and Angelina Pahila-Garrido v. Eliza M. Tortogo et al, G.R. No. 156358, August 17, 2011. See also for

With reference to the admissibility of the admissions and
declarations of a defendant charged with a crime, the rule seems to
be that the declarations made by a defendant or by a third party,
by his authority, if relevant, are admissible against him. If the
defendant has made statements constituting an admission of the
facts charged in the complaint, or relevant to the charges in the
complaint they are admissible against him. [Commonwealth v.
Sanborn, 116 Mass., 61; People vs. Bosworth, 64 Hun (N. Y.), 72;
People v. Cassidy, 133 N. Y., 612; State v. Behrman, 114 N. C., 797.]

They are in fact raring to utilize them again in support of their stance in Special
Civil Action Case No. 2070 [Grace Borgoa Insigne et al v. Abra Valley Colleges
and Francis Borgoa] pending before Branch 1 of the Regional Trial Court of
Bangued, Abra.
11. Respondents even went to the extent of contending that there is a need
to have the subject documents studied by an expertparticularly Questioned
Documents Examiner. But it is our respectful submission that there is no actual
need for this especially in light of Respondents express acknowledgement in their
Counter-Affidavit that they were the ones who had indeed produced the subject
documents. Such admission is very important inasmuch as it demonstrates their
culpability for the felonies they are presently being accused of. This is in light of
the salutary rule that "admissions of parties charged with a crime, deliberately
made, are always admissible to show their guilt." 8
14. Respondents have proven that they are willing to lie, manipulate facts,
and go against morals in an effort to prevail in this present action lodged against
them. This is a moral outrage. By their actions they gravely disregarded the value
of honesty. They rejected the fact that the demand of truth takes a strong public
manifestation beyond the private and social dimensions. They forgot that fidelity
to the truth is one of their primary duties as citizens.
15. By putting forward and affirming false documents and making it appear
that they participated in certain corporate acts where they did not so participate
resulting in undue damage and prejudice to Abra Valley Colleges, Inc.,

Respondents should most definitely be indicted, tried and jailed for falsification,
issuance and use of false certification.
