ON Dec. 2, 2021, former CNMI Chief Justice Jose S. Dela Cruz accompanied by his daughter Roxanne Dela Cruz presented a check for $1,000 to the Friends of the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library in celebration of JKPL’s 30th Anniversary.
Chief Justice Dela Cruz donated 50% of the proceeds from his latest book, “The Fundamental Issues Affecting the Northern Mariana Islands,” following the success of his book launch at the JKPL on November 20, 2021.
