EN: To shuffle
This is what your tito does to the deck of cards before a serious game of pusoy dos. 'Bumalasa' means to shuffle. But in the grown-up world, it's also what happens in government or a company when a new boss comes in and 'shuffles' the team—firing some, promoting others, and moving everyone around. It's a corporate/political reshuffle.
From Spanish "barajar" (to shuffle cards).
Primarily for shuffling cards, but also used figuratively for reorganizing personnel or a system.
