Regional Trial Court Judge William Layague acted on the case filed against Almendras, son of the late Senator Alejandro Almendras, by his own sister, Rosalinda Almendras-Unson.
She accused him of falsifying her signature in the special power of attorney in the sale of a 195-square-meter property here last February.
A P40,000 bail was set for Almendras temporary liberty. Edith Regalado
