In an advisory on Twitter, the Supreme Court said Peralta ordered the suspension of work in Metro Manila courts in “the interest of everyone’s health and safety.”

“Presiding justices and executive judges are directed to ensure that halls of justice, court facilities and equipment, including court records, are secure, and all urgent matters requiring court action are attended to,” the advisory further read.
