CEBU CITY, Philippines –Election officers of the Commission on Elections in Cebu City (North and South) are now bracing for another round of revamp among their ranks. 

This after the election officers from different provinces in the country were reshuffled in preparation for the May 2019 midterm elections. 

Lawyer Marchel Sarno, Comelec-Cebu City North District Officer, told reporters that they were verbally informed by Comelec-Manila about the looming revamp.
