The House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands presented a commemorative resolution honoring Miguel Mendiola Sablan, known as "Uncle Mike Palaxi," during a session where family members joined legislators to acknowledge his service and community involvement.
A member of the House told the public the body was presenting “this commemorative House commemorative resolution to honor the life and legacy of the late honorable Miguel Mendiola Sablan for his meaningful contributions to the commonwealths of the Northern Mariana Islands and to extend our sincere condolences and sympathies to you and your family.” The lawmaker said members were present at Sablan’s final rites and that the eulogy — read by Donna Flores — revealed to many that Sablan had served in the legislature and had been active in his community.
