Mayor Duterte: The ‘squeaky-clean’ candidate?

By ANNELLE GUMIHID-SABANAL·WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2016

Many of Mayor Duterte’s supporters have portrayed him as the only candidate with no ‘political baggages,’ while portraying his rivals as ‘trapo’ politicians who have to eventually answer back to their patrons. But how accurate is this depiction of the Mayor? Below is a transcript of a conversation

I had with a friend who worked for a significant period in the senate. He asserts that the Mayor is not as squeaky-clean as he is being portrayed to be.

Except for a few revisions to remove names of a few people, I left the transcript raw, to give room for interpretation.

AGS Wow, that's quite a serious accusation. Where did you get that info?

Friend Y messaged me thru FB and cursed me. He read one of my comments before. Ganun sila ka aggressive.

AGS So magkakilala kayo ni Y?

Friend No. Maybe someone alerted him. Then attack na sila.

AGS What exactly did you say to earn his ire?

Friend Naku. Their record in Cotabato is not that good. Kaya halos lahat natalo last elections. They tried to build a dynasty there. Can't believe some of our christian brothers and sisters are justifying mayor's extra judicial killings. Wow.

AGS Yeah, I know mainit ang away ng mga Ys with the other camp. They have been accusing yung mga incumbents of corruption.

Friend Ate, I was recruited to be a part of Duterte's media team pero I refused. Sometime in 2013. Sabi ko private na ako. And the people behind him are GMA's ex-generals. Di ko kaya sikmurain. Duterte can’t even mention the donors of his campaign di ba? Big time miners in mindanao are supporting him, China, and that Pastor Quiboloy.

AGS Wow! So 2013 pa may plan na si Duterte?

Friend Di ko to masabi in public kasi siyempre yung recruitment confi yun. haha.

AGS I understand.

Friend Di siya mismo. Pero the people behind him are determined. In 2014 he was making media rounds na sa VisMin. In 2015 nag ge-guest na siya sa Manila. Imagine the cost para maging guests ka sa mga tv shows. Malaki bayad dun. Millions and millions. His war room office is in Nickel Asia building in BGC. Ang ganda ng set up! Parang pang Holywood haha.Owned by the Zamoras of course.

AGS Kaya ba sya soft kay GMA?

Friend Bone of the biggest nickel supplier in the world! Yes. Sila Z. Ex-U ni GMA. Madaming generals na nakasuhan sa time ni Mar sa DILG. They are all raring to get back at him.

AGS I know Z. Alumnus sya ng Pisay and I know a few people connected to him. Wow. This is big.

Friend Mar removed a lot of benefits enjoyed by the generals during his time at DILG. Bawal mga donations na kotse from fil-chi, bawal ang bentahan ng baril, bawal ang pa raffle ng cash donations ng mga negosyante. Ang daming bawal kasi mali naman talaga.

AGS O yeah, that was the time na kasagsagan ng issue ng corruption sa AFP and PNP.

Friend Robredo started it. Mar continued the reforms.

AGS The 'war room' you were referring to, you mean, owned by Duterte?

Friend War room. It’s where they monitor everything. Multi media etc. High tech!

AGS Monitor what?

Friend Duterte and cayetano’s media exposure. Twitter, Facebook, etc. Di pa nag start ang debate may votes na si duterte na siya ang panalo sa debate. 😂😂😂

AGS So totoo yung chismis na may 'massive internet work' sila going on?

Friend From China and Russia mga votes karamihan. Oo naman! Yung hashtag naka monitor. haha. May software lang yan na binili

AGS Wow! I'm dumbfounded!

Friend Those are the things na di pwede i public. Nakakatakot. Mag post ka ng status na may hashtag and against duterte. Pag gising mo punung puno ka ng messages sa inbox mo na ipapapatay ka etc

AGS True. From Cayetano's side, I know a bit. May ethical issues involving some pastors. I was told the pastors are under his payroll. At matagal na nila inaayos yung pagtakbo ni Cayetano.

Friend China is funding him as well. Dati si Miriam ang favorite ng China nung running for senator siya.

AGS True, my posts are not open to public participation, but I had my share of angry messages.

Friend Cayetano is the binay of BGC. Mas malala pa kasi nakikialam talaga.

AGS BGC meaning?

Friend Sadly, his wife is my friend. Bonifacio Global City. The Fort dati.

AGS Oh, yeah, Balwarte pala nila yun.

Friend Ayala may ari ng BGC. Pero siyempre mga permits dadaan lahat sa Cayetano. Oh well!

AGS E hindi ba anti-GMA si Cayetano?

Friend Before. Not now haha. Napaka-trapo ni Cayetano. UP days pa dati sinusuka na yan ng mga kasabayan nia. Oppurtunista masyado.

AGS But why? What's in there for him? Although I remember he defended Villar's C5 issues before and I will forever take that against him. haha.

Friend I distanced myself sa kanila mga 2 years ago. Na-addict na sa power.

AGS Kanino ka nga pala dati? I mean who did you work for?

Friend Kay X. I hated Mar before kasi ang galing niya sa senate hahahah. Nilalampaso boss ko sa debates hahahah.

AGS Ah, you were with a good guy!

Friend Laging handa yun. As in nag-aaral. Yeah. Senator X is clean. 😀 Maayos sila. Sila ni Mar, Flavier, Magsaysay.

AGS Mukha naman e. And he doesn't pretend when he doesn't know something. He would ask his assistant for info. Sinong Magsaysay?

Friend Okay si Mar nung debate sa cheaper medicines law. Grabe ang hirap kalaban ng pharma lobby. Dami pera. Si Mar binangga lahat. Kahit boss ko di kinaya kasi sisiraan ka talaga sa media pag pabor ka sa cheaper meds law at that time. Jun Magsaysay. Dating senator. Magaling yun at malinis.

AGS Oh, yeah, I know. Sayang, he wasn't able to go back. Anong kinalaman ng media sa mga lobbyist

Friend Medyo ayaw na din ata kasi ng family niya. Even siya medyo ayaw. Too late yung ads niya nun.They pay the media.A lot!

AGS Hay, kabwiset! Everyone is complicit!

Friend Magpapalabas ng negative issues about you. Kaya happy ako sa admin now kasi ang laki ng pinagbago. Far from perfect pero daming na improve. BIR na lang lumaki collections. Sa customs daming nakasuhan.

AGS True. Pwede ko ba i-post ang conversation natin? Will make you anonymous and clean up some info.

Friend Summarize na lang hahaha.

AGS Will try.I want some friends to see this.The brunt will be on me, not on you.

Friend It can get you into trouble. Kukuyugin ka haha.

AGS Yaan mo sila. Wala pa naman ako jan. Haha.

Friend Di ko alam san galing yung pag defend nila kay mayor na parang galit na galit sila. Weird lang kasi banal banalan medyo madami. Nagugulat ako.

AGS It's mob phenomenon. Ang common Juan dela Cruz does not appreciate economics on a macro scale. Tapos mejo di rin magaling yung PR ni Pnoy and Mar.

Friend May ganun pala haha. Kay Pnoy maganda before. Actually, he has the highest ever approval rating as compared with other pres ngayong election time.

AGS There is. Parang religion lang.

Friend Usually negative na yan pero sia nasa moderate pa din.

AGS True.Who is funding yung war room?

Friend Zamora. Owner of Nickel Asia.

AGS Confirmed yan?

Friend Sa buong mundo second largest producer tayo ng nickel. Next to Indonesia. Dun ang office nila haha. Sa Nickel Asia building. Kinukuwento din ata ng mga lawyers. Alam din ng mga taga UP. Wag mo na lang i-kuwento. Baka pag initan ka haha. Ang dami nilang trolls. As in!

AGS What about yung accusation kay Mar on his connection with SR mining?

Friend Legit yun na mining company. He is open about it. Di niya tinago yun. Ang weird is bakit tinatago ni mayor.

AGS Good point.

Friend Nickel Asia is legit. Im sure nagbibigay yan sa lahat. Pero may favorite siyempre mga yan. Kami dati sa chopper ni razon, aboitiz etc humihiram kami. Pero we pay for the fuel and pilot's fees

AGS Actually, a friend emailed me that article on the SR in connection to mar. I said, lahat ng party may ganyan. So if you base your judgment on something like that, you'll be disappointed.

Friend Open yun from the start. Walang tinatago. Pero si Duterte wala siyang inaamin. Pero mga supporters wala lang. Todo defend haha.

AGS Well, kaya nga binanatan si Mar dahil he admitted to the connection. sabi nya, “he's my friend, what's wrong with that.”

Friend Ang tanong ko nga sa loob ng six years gumanda ba buhay mo? Lumaki ba sweldo mo? Nakatulong ka ba sa iba?Kung hindi bakit? Anong ginawa mo?Kami sa senate nagbabayad sa pag gamit ng chopper at private plane. Kailangan mo kasi yun para madami kang mapuntahan

AGS True. I don't want to be naive when it comes to politics. Yun I think ang problem ng marami ngayon, sobrang naive. To them, perfect si Digong. No blemishes. At kahit may malaking blemish, they can actually find excuses for him.

Friend Diyos ko. Sa davao yung lahat ng media na nag expose ng corruption sa davao patay na. Tatlo yun. Unsolved. Pero mga ampatuan hanggang ngayon hari sa davao.

AGS Wait lang, why do you say cayetano is like Binay of BGC?

FriendNo proof ako pero that's what the businessmen say. Humihingi din ata.

AGS Teka, sinong humihingi?

Friend Si Cayetano daw. Sa mga nagtatayo ng building. Pero siyempre sabi sabi lang yun. Ang meron sila mga stores. At least legal naman. No proof ako siyempre about it na humihingi nga.

AGS Okay. At least clear yan. Pero I'm with you on the point that Cayetano is not as clean as he projects himself to be.

Friend Mabait yun na kausap dati.

AGS Yung issue pa lang ng pastors under his payroll makes me roll my eyes.

Friend May cases ata sila sa ombudsman. Mga gamot etc.

AGS Yeah, at may issues with COA.

AGS Oo, may mga kakilala ako under the payroll. frown emoticon

Friend Ang alam kong maayos sa senate yun lang. Mar, Kiko, Magsaysay and Flavier dati. Sa time ko dun. Si Joker pala of course. Grabe ano. Payroll for what!? Gabi gabing pray over? 😂

AGS hindi lang pang pray over. I think ang plan was for them to rally the churches. Pero nagflop yung plan, kasi hindi magaling yung ginawang pastor-coordinator.Deny deny pa sila. Kasi technically, hindi naman suhol. I think, legit na sahod yun. Pero yung ethical implication nun malaki. Talk about conflict of interest.

The Victims of the Davao Death Squad: Consolidated Report 1998-2015

Repost from Fr. Amado Picardal blog


I recently received a consolidated report of the killings perpetrated by the Davao Death Squad (DDS) since 1998 up to the end of 2015. The source will not be mentioned for obvious reasons. Suffice it to say that since the killings started, they have been monitoring these cases. I know them very well and I have been collaborating with them as we denounced these killings and worked with the Commission of Human Rights and the Human Rights Watch. They are hesitant to make the report public out of apprehension that it will be used for political purposes. I believe that to hide this would be a disservice to the nation since I believe that the body count could multiply many times over throughout the whole country in the next six years. The original report that I have is in Excel format, and very detailed (year by year, according to age, sex, areas, weapons used, etc). What I present is a summary and my own analysis. I know that when I do this, I am risking my life. But the truth must come out before it is too late.

The total number of persons killed by the DDS from 1998-2015 is 1,424. Let me repeat in words – ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY-FOUR victims. This can be considered as MASS MURDER perpetrated by the same group, inspired and supported by the same persons. The data does not include those killed in other cities where the DDS have expanded franchise-style.

Out of 1,424, there were 1,367 male and 57 female. This means that those murdered by the DDS were not only men, there were also fifty-seven women.

Looking at this according to age there were 132 children killed (17 and below) -- 126 boys and 6 girls. The youngest was a 12 years boy and a 15 year girl. There was a 9 year old boy who was killed by a stray bullet – he was not an intended target.

There was a total of 476 young adults (18-25) murdered – 466 male, 19 female. The number of older adults (26 years and above) killed were 612 (466 male, 28 female). There were victims whose age were not given – 201 (191 male, 10 female).

Thus, almost 50 percent of the victims were young people (children and young adults). Most the victims were killed in urban poor areas (e.g. Buhangin, Agdao, Bangkerohan, Boulevard, Matina, Toril). Most of those killed were involved in illegal drugs – as users and pushers. There were also those involved in petty crimes – theft, cell-phone snatching, gang members. There were 14 cases of mistaken identity – they were not the intended targets but the DDS hit men mistakenly hit the wrong target. There were some who had gone away after being warned that they were on the hit list and after some years, after reforming their lives, came back thinking that they were safe. Their names were still on the list so they were still killed.

Thus, one can say that majority of the victims of the DDS were young and poor – juvenile delinquents considered as the weeds of society. There were no reports of drug lords or big time criminals among those killed by the DDS. There were two journalists who were believed to have been murdered by the DDS – Jun Pala and Ferdie “Batman” Limtungan. Jun Pala was a radio commentator who constantly spoke out against the DDS and Mayor Duterte. There were two previous attempts on his life and he accused Duterte of being behind these attacks. He was finally killed by motorcycle riding men on the third try. Ferdie “Batman” Lintuan also spoke out against the DDS and also the alleged anomalies in the construction of the People’s Park which he linked with Mayor Duterte. He was also killed by motorcycle riding men.

The victims of the DDS were unarmed. They did not fight back. Many were just sitting down on street-corners outside sari-sari stores, talking with friends and then suddenly shot in cold blood. There were some who were just released from prison and while waiting for public transportation on the side of the road were suddenly shot by motorcycling men. How the DDS knew the exact time and place they were to be released is amazing. Another victim was killed inside his home in front of his mother and three children who were begging the DDS not to kill him. One of the most well-known case is Clarita Alia – a vegetable vendor in Bangkerohan – whose teen-age sons (who were below 17 years old) were murdered by the DDS. I was asked by Clarita to bless the body of her boy, Fernando before he was buried.

I have personally witnessed the aftermath of two DDS killings. The first was in our parish church in Bajada. While officiating a Wedding Mass I heard shots outside in the carpark. I immediately rushed outside after the Mass to find out what happened. I saw the body of a teen-age boy lying in our church ground surrounded by people. He had just been shot by DDS hit-men while sitting in the car park with his friends. The killers escaped on a motor-cycle. There was a police car nearby but the police just fired warning shots into the air and did not go after the killers. The boy who was killed lived in a nearby slums area. He had been suspected as one of those who broke the window of a car park in our church and stole some items two weeks earlier.

The second time I witnessed the aftermath of a DDS killing was while mountain-biking in Lomondao, a distant barangay in Davao. As I neared the place I met three motorcycle riding men speeding back to the city. When I arrived in the place I saw people who gathered around the body of a young boy. When I asked what happened, someone told me it was the DDS. The boy was cell-phone snatcher and drug user. He added, the boy deserved to die.

The killings have not stopped. The DDS continue their murderous spree even to this day. For the last five years (2011-2015), there were 385 victims of extrajudicial killings in Davao - 39 of them below seventeen years old and 118 young adults (18-25). In 2011 there 111 reported DDS killings, in 2012 there were 61, in 2013 there were 101, in 2014 there were 52 and there were 60 in 2015. The DDS usually take a break during the campaign period. They will continue their operations after the elections.

So far, no one has been held accountable for these killings. There has been no official investigation by the police or the city government. The police do not acknowledge the existence of the DDS. The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) came to Davao for a public hearing and also met secretly with witnesses – family of the victims and former members of DDS. Although the CHR recommended prosecution, this could not prosper because nobody was willing to testify in court out of fear. The DDS are still around and anybody who testifies will surely be targeted for assassination. I have met some of these witnesses and understand their fear. They claimed that some of those listed as victims were their former companions who knew too much and were suspected of betraying the DDS. So while former DDS members talked about how they were recruited, trained and how they operate, and who their handlers were and their link with some police and local government officials, all these information could not stand in court because they were not willing to testify in spite of the sworn statements made before the CHR. Much of the information can also be found in the report of the Human Rights Watch in 2009 You Can Die Anytime: Death Squad Killings in Mindanao. One of the findings of the Human Rights Watch report reveals the link between the DDS and the police:


“According to these “insiders,” most members of the DDS are either former communist New People’s Army insurgents who surrendered to the government or young men who themselves were death squad targets and joined the group to avoid being killed. Most can make far more money with the DDS than in other available occupations. Their handlers, called amo (boss), are usually police officers or ex-police officers. They provide them with training, weapons and ammunition, motorcycles, and information on the targets. Death squad members often use .45-caliber handguns, a weapon commonly used by the police but normally prohibitively expensive for gang members and common criminals.

The insiders told Human Rights Watch that the amo obtain information about targets from police or barangay (village or city district) officials, who compile lists of targets. The amo provides members of a death squad team with as little as the name of the target, and sometimes an address and a photograph. Police stations are then notified to ensure that police officers are slow to respond, enabling the death squad members to escape the crime scene, even when they commit killings near a police station.”


The Human Rights Watch Report also revealed the modus operandi:

“Our research found that the killings follow a pattern. The assailants usually arrive in twos or threes on a motorcycle without a license plate. They wear baseball caps and buttoned shirts or jackets, apparently to conceal their weapons underneath. They shoot or, increasingly, stab their victim without warning, often in broad daylight and in presence of multiple eyewitnesses, for whom they show little regard. And as quickly as they arrive, they ride off—but almost always before the police appear.”

“They deserved to die.” This is what Mayor Duterte said while denying involvement in these extrajudicial killings. At one time, he read a list in his TV program. A few weeks later many of those in the list were killed by the DDS.

“They deserve to die.” This is also the attitude of many residents of the city towards the victims of the DDS. This shows who are behind them and why there has been little outcry regarding these mass murders.

It appears that the DDS killings are the center-piece of Mayor Duterte’s campaign against criminality in Davao City. To fight against criminality, you simply kill the criminals through extra-judicial executions carried out by the DDS. No need to arrest them, put them on trial and imprison them if proven guilty. No need for due process of the law. Criminals do not have rights – that is a western concept. For criminals there can only be one punishment – death. It doesn’t matter if you are a petty criminal – even if you are only a drug addict or pusher or cell-phone snatcher, you deserve to die. The killings are meant to be a deterrent to crime - to instill fear on everyone so that they will stop committing crime. According to Human Rights Watch Report:

“The continued death squad operation reflects an official mindset in which the ends are seen as justifying the means. The motive appears to be simple expedience: courts are viewed as slow or inept. The murder of criminal suspects is seen as easier and faster than proper law enforcement. Official tolerance and support of targeted killing of suspected criminals promotes rather than curbs the culture of violence that has long plagued Davao City and other places where such killings occur.”

It has been very difficult to speak out against these extrajudicial killings because majority of the people in Davao support these. The archdiocese of Davao under the leadership of Archbishop Fernando Capalla came out with a pastoral letter: “Thou Shalt Not Kill” and held several prayer vigils. We were a minority - a small voice whose cry in the wilderness was drowned out by the applause of the majority. The blood of 1,424 victims of the DDS was the price that was paid so that there could be peace and order – so that all can walk at night without fear. This was the peace of the cemetery, an order maintained by death squads – by criminals.

And the mass murder continues and there will be more blood spilled – not just in Davao but the entire Philippines. Mayor Duterte promised that if elected “the 1,000 will become 100,000.” He declared that “it will be bloody.” He said there will be” no need for more jails -- just funeral parlors.” He promised to “eliminate criminality in the entire country within 3-6 months.” How will he do it? The answer is what happened in Davao – through the DDS under the direction of many police officers who deny their existence, with the financial support coming from businessmen and also drawn from the government coffers.

“I’m willing to go to hell, as long as the people I serve live in paradise.” Is this an admission on the part of Mayor Duterte that what he has done is a grave sin against God that could someday earn him divine punishment?

Is Davao a paradise after 18 years of DDS extrajudicial killings? Has criminality been eradicated? According to the data from PNP covering 2010-2015, out of 15 chartered cities Davao was fourth in terms of Total Index of Crimes: 37,797 incidents. In terms of murder, Davao was no. 1 (1,032 incidents) and in terms of rape Davao was no. 2 (843 incidents). This report gives the impression that in Davao you can be murdered and raped any time. Murder is not really that bad if the DDS and the Mayor can do it. Rape is not really that bad if the Mayor can callously joke about it, wishing he was the first in line when he heard that a hostage – an Australian Lay Missionary - was raped.
Meanwhile, the families of victims cry out for justice as the DDS continue their killing spree. The national government has failed to address this mass murder that could soon multiply many times over, God forbid.

If the DDS is not stopped and those behind it is not held accountable, there will be a national bloodbath. Those who support it and allow it to multiply will have blood in their hands – they will be accomplices to mass murder. The one who orders this is a mass murderer – the biggest Criminal of them all.

If it is alright to kill suspected criminals – who can stop any one from taking the law into their own hands? Anyone can become judge and executioner – not only the police and public officials. Anyone can form their own vigilante groups. There won’t be any need for prisons or lawyers or judges. There won’t be any peace, no order as long and human rights and the rule of law are disregarded. Meanwhile, the big criminals, the big thieves and murderers will continue to rule the land. If it is o.k. to kill criminals, who can prevent anyone from killing the biggest Criminal of them all? We could be entering another dark period of our history -- like the dictatorial period in the past or worst.

POEA padlocks offices of two unlicensed manpower agencies

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), with the assistance of the
Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) shut down
two offices allegedly used in illegal recruitment activities.

Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac ordered the closure of Groselex Manpower Services located
at 2920 Taft Avenue corner EDSA, Pasay City and Rovejane Manpower Services with office
address at 3rd Floor, Gisselle Park Plaza, EDSA corner Taft Avenue, Pasay City after
confirmation that they have been illegally operating as recruitment agents and referring their
recruits to training centers and licensed recruitment agencies.

“The acts of offering a job, interview, or referral for overseas work by any person or entity
without proper license from the POEA is considered illegal recruitment even if there is a
licensed recruiter at the process,” he said.

Cacdac said the operatives caught the employees of Groselex in the act of illegal recruitment
and locked down its office of which was hidden in a cell phone accessory shop cum variety
store. The employees admitted that they were recruiting quality inspectors, civil inspectors,
equipment inspector training officers allegedly for Kuwait, Saudi Arabia United Arab Emirates,
Qatar, and Bahrain; entertainers to Japan; factory workers for Taiwan and Korea; and domestic
workers for Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

Groselex charges its applicants Php500.00 as “initializing fee”, an undisclosed amount for
training fee, and a month’s worth of salary to be paid by salary deduction as placement fee.
Cacdac said Rovejane Manpower Services was found operating in the guise of a local
employment agency but recruits fruit pickers for Japan; factory workers for Taiwan; and
domestic workers for the Middle East, Singapore, and Thailand. The agency collects P500
"initializing fee" from applicants and refers them to a training center in Cavite. The officers
arrested a certain Phing Pumaraya who was present during the raid.

POEA will initiate filing of illegal recruitment and estafa cases against Pumaraya and the staff of
Groselex identified as Nancy A. Arcasa Nengasa alias Mahinay Villafuerte, Ma. Christina
Mendioro Isar, and Danilo Gucela Binger, and administrative cases against the licensed
agencies found in connivance with Groselex. /

Applicants beware: The Marriott Hotel job scam is back

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration warns job applicants on the
reappearance of the Marriott Hotel employment scam.

Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac said a new email doing the rounds, is offering
employment with Marriott Hotel in the United Kingdom to unsuspecting job seekers.
Cacdac said the “Marriott” scammers are also using the social media, prowling for
victims.

Cacdac said that in a Facebook post, the scammer promised employment in Marriott
Hotel Canada in diverse positions such as stewards, nurses, technicians, fashion
designers, comedians and entertainers, models, actors, dancers, medical doctor,
artisans, mechanics, waiter, waitress and other hotel job category.

The Administrator said scammers use legitimate company names, such as Marriott, to
make false offers of employment but telltale signs of it being a scam can be easily
detected.

He said big companies such as Marriott Hotels have a dedicated job vacancy page and
rarely use e-mail and social media to advertise for its job openings.

Marriott Hotel do not use free e-mail service providers such as yahoo.com, gmail.com,
hotmail.com, live.com, etc. Scammers request applicants to send application, resume,
and other documents to a fraudulent e-mail address.

Swindlers ask victims to transfer money directly to a bank account or through a money
remittance company as payment for processing, immigration and visa fees.

Legitimate companies do not require payment of fees in order to be considered for
employment.
