No transfers until after polls: Tomas

Osmena

Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña said he will only entertain requests of barangay officials to transfer to the Bando Osmeña-Pundok Kauswagan (BO-PK) after the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections.

“Just to remind them, after the elections, I’m still the mayor. But I’m giving them the chance,” the mayor said in Wednesday’s press briefing.

The mayor earlier said there will be a change in the city’s political landscape after the elections, as he expected more barangay officials to move to BO-PK.

The Barug Partido Demokratiko Pilipino and Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) countered the mayor’s assessment, with Councilor and Association of Barangay Council (ABC) president Philip Zafra saying no such movement will take place./ MARTHY JOHN LUBIANO PIT MASSCOM INTERN
