Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A party overreads Trillanes to claim that a document called an amnesty certificate is irrebuttable even where authenticity is specifically disproved by clear competent evidence. Which is sound?
  1. The title alone validates every forgery forever.
  2. The case’s evidentiary protection is not an absolute rule validating every forged or disproved document.
  3. No lawful factual challenge can ever exist.
  4. The actual grant’s conditions disappear in every case.
  5. Clear contrary evidence is categorically irrelevant.
