ASSESSMENT TASK 1
TABAKO University is a well-known school in the Province of Laguna. The Security Department
through the advice of the MIS department a rule which will subject every student’s LAPTOP to inspection
in order to ensure that NO pornographic materials, pirated software and other prohibited materials are
stored in a student’s laptop.

Mr.Manny Yac is the president of the Supreme Student Government (SSG) and contends that such
a rule violates their privacy rights guaranteed by the Constitution because a laptop is a personal property
especially their contents.

The Security Chief counter-argued and contends that their school bags as well as its contents are
also personal property but the inspection of such is not being ruled to be a violation of privacy rights.
Thus, inspecting laptops and their contents cannot be said to be a violation of a student’s privacy rights.

The Dean of Student Affairs asks your opinion with the foregoing legal issue. What will be your
advise to the Dean of Student Affairs?

Mr. Jay Person is the Department Chair of the Computer Science (CS) Department of TABAKO
University while Ms. Lee Jane 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 to the department secretary. The department secretary will then submit the
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
the 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 a system failure.

On March 21,2011 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 late in the submission of grade sheets,
anyway Sir Jay’s signature is only a formal requirement.”

Questions:

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

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