Renato Tereso Antonio Coronado Corona (1948 to 2016) was a Filipino jurist who served as the twenty third Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines from 2010 to 2012, after serving as an associate justice from 2002. As Chief Justice he wrote the 2011 ruling in Hacienda Luisita Inc versus PARC upholding land distribution to the hacienda farm workers. In 2012 he became the first high ranking Philippine official removed from office through impeachment, after the Senate convicted him of failing to disclose his statement of assets, liabilities and net worth.
