CASE STUDY
1. Do you think there is a chance that Mr. Mendoza will get caught by the bank? How?
For me yes, there is a possibility that the manager or head of the bank will discover of
what Mr. Mendoza did. There are many ways for you to discover what someone is doing wrong
they say there is no secret that cannot revealed. There is a possibility that Mr. Mendoza caught of
the head of the bank because he knows if a document is real or fake since he/she is already good
at looking at and reviewing documents especially when it comes from the bank clients. Even if
they say that he has been a client for a long time, of course it is a bank, yes, they have trust, but
they still know that they should not be easy to trust because they are holding money. For me,
those who work in the bank will be brainwashed, you will not just be fooled or faked them and
they should be a critical analyst, yes, it is easy to withdraw money from them, but it is a big
process before they issue any large amount of money.
2. Would you agree with Mr. Mendoza’s course of action? Why or why not?
Mr. Mendoza made a big mistake in solving the problem of his small business. For me, I
do not agree with this, because first of all it is a crime since he cheated, yes, we can say that the
employees will be happy because they will have a salary but there is still the term of fraud even
if you help others. There are many good and realistic solution on how to solve a problem in a
particular situation. There’s having a one possible solution to solve it which is Mr. Mendoza can
do another sale, yes, they are already losing money and a lot of money is needed, but if you have
a confidence and trust the process and willing not to do bad, he will conduct a meeting about this
plan. He does not need to do more fraudulent work because he did a lot of cheating, first in his
employee followed by the bank and especially himself since he is the one who made the fake
documents that came directly from his hand.
1. Should Mr. Villanueva hire the daughter of his friend? Analyze this case in terms of core
principles that you have studied.
For me, Mr. Villanueva not right to decide to hire his friend’s daughter because the other
applicant needs a job more that his daughter’s friend. This situation is under the principles of
fairness simply because Mr. Villanueva will no longer look at the situation of the two applicants.
When you are hiring applicants, you should first look at a person’s situation not a status or
relationship to them, or to see if he/she is really deserving the position. Mr. Villanueva should
not immediately judge an applicant based solely on his external appearance and the relationship
to them. If you are a good manager of a one company, you will be fair to your future employees.
You will not be biased to your applicant and you should treat them equally.
2. What do you think will happen if Mr. Villanueva did not hire the other applicant which is has an
edge in terms of work experience?
Most applicants tend to be given the opportunity in a particular job. I admit that with this
question I was having a hard time to answer and being upset because of the word “edge” I was
bit confused about what that word really means in terms of business. I can tell the meaning of the
word “edge” when it comes to work seems to b e incompetent or less experience about work, so
based on my understanding of this question is I can say that there is a big shortage/scarcity in
Mr. Villanueva company, simply because he can hire it to further training of his ability in the
available position. Because an experience can change a person, since later there is no realization
that the potential of the other applicant is greater that of his friend’s daughter, there is even more
that other applicant can help the development of his company. Says that “don’t judge the book
by its cover”.
1. According to the article, what re the common reasons of companies for engaging in bribery?
Based on the cases I have read about the big companies here in our world they all face
serious problems. They have various reasons why they did they surrender to each other just to
save their company and his/her own reputation. Also based on my understanding of the article,
their common reasons for making bribery are for their personal reputation and the name of their
company because they are all well-known. But usually, the reason is to save their company since
it is already collapsing and losing money because of the excessive amount they pay to other
party. Based on my understanding the other companies seems to have just been brought into the
contract so they gambled and also because they took something that the company needed so they
were tempted to steal from another company, and the others were only accused of a crime they
did not commit.
2. Research on how bribery is punished under Philippine laws. Do you think the consequences are
heavy enough to deter companies from engaging in bribery?
Based on my research there are three revised penal codes penalizes three kinds of
bribery, which are direct, indirect, and qualified bribery. Direct bribery is a public officer who
accepts an offer or in order to carry out an act that is not a crime but unjust, while indirect
bribery is committed by a public official who accepts a gift to him and the last is the qualified
bribery committed by a law enforcement official who refrains from arresting or prosecuting an
offender who has committed a felony that is punishable by life imprisonment for 20 years to 40
years and or death penalty. For me, yes, it is a severe punishment for bribery, but there are only
so many people who do not know how to fear by the las and follow what is right, so there is still
more criticism in our world. Many people do not shy away from bribery especially and their
company is stuck in a situation that tests their intelligence.
