Former Court of Appeals (CA) Associate Justice Ricardo Puno, Sr. passed away at the age of 95, his son confirmed on Wednesday, July 25.<\/p>\n

“Today, my dad, Justice Ricardo C. Puno Sr., joined his Creator,” former House Deputy Speaker Roberto “Robbie” Puno said in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n

The younger Puno, however, did not disclose further details about his father’s passing.<\/p>\n

Puno started his Judiciary career when he served as a district judge in 1962.<\/p>\n

In 1973, he became the CA’s associate justice until 1978, under the regime of late strongman Ferdinand Marcos.<\/p>\n

He, later on, served as an assemblyman of the Batasang Pambansa from 1978 to 1979, and then as Justice Minister from 1979 to 1984.<\/p>\n

After his 22 fruitful years in public service, Puno, together with his son Ricardo Puno, Jr., founded the Puno & Puno Law Offices, which is currently composed of sixty legal counsels, along with support staff and paralegals.<\/p>\n

In his statement, Roberto said his dad, in his early life, wanted to become a priest but his plan did not happen when he met his wife, Priscilla Villanueva Puno.<\/p>\n

Puno then fathered 13 children and went on with his career until he reached the age of 95, where he became a daily fixture at his own law firm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
