The life and works of retired Chief Justice Diosdado M. Peralta, the 26th head of the country’s judiciary, will be featured for six months until September.
“The Hall was closed during the pandemic. However, due to the continuous improvement of the public health situation in the country, the Court, led by Chief Justice Alexander G. Gesmundo has decided to open [it] to the public,” Atty. Cunanan said. He was appointed chief justice on Oct. 23, 2019 by former President Rodrigo R. Duterte. He took over the post from retired Chief Justice Lucas P. Bersamin, now executive secretary.
He was with the judiciary for almost 27 years. He worked for the government for more than 34 years. He started as a judge of the regional trial court in Quezon City in 1994. As a trial court judge, his court was designated a special criminal court for heinous crimes and, later, for drugs cases. In 2002, he was promoted to the Sandiganbayan. After six years in the anti-graft court, he was promoted as its presiding justice in 2008.
In 1988, he was transferred to the prosecutor’s office in Manila where he later became the assistant chief of its investigation division. Peralta was joined during the re-opening of the hall by his wife, Court of Appeals Justice Fernanda Lampas-Peralta; daughter Atty. Dorothy L. Peralta-De Guzman and her husband, Dr. Jeremie De Guzman; sons John Christopher Peralta, Timothy John Peralta, and John Isaac Peralta; sister Vissia P. Aldon, and brother-in-law Atty. Cornelio P. Aldon.
