The CNMI Judiciary was well represented at the swearing in ceremony by Associate Justice John Manglona and associate judge Ramona V. Manglona, acting Chief Justice Alexandro Castro, associate judge Kenneth Govendo, U.S. District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Alex Munson, among others. [B][I](Eduardo Siguenza)
