Justices of the Supreme Court
 
Justice Minita Chico-Nazario
Justice Chico-Nazario holds the distinction of being the first woman Justice in the Sandiganbayan and its first woman Presiding Justice.

Her appointment to the Supreme Court in February 10, 2004 is a homecoming of sorts, since she started out as the social secretary of the

late Secretary of Justice Juan Liwag after graduating from the University of the Philippines College of Law in 1962.

Justice Nazario was appointed Division Clerk of Court of the Sandiganbayan’s First Division and was appointed Regional Trial Court Judge of Biñan, Laguna. Likewise, she was a professor of law at the Perpetual Help University in Las Piñas City (1994-1997). She has, to her credit, more than 40 years of uninterrupted service in government prior to her SC appointment.

Born in San Miguel, Bulacan, Justice Nazario is the current president of the Philippine Women Judges Association.

Justice Nazario was the Criminal Law Bar Examiner for the year 2000.
