DEL CASTILLO, J.
"Loss of confidence as a just cause for termination of employment is premised on the fact that the employee concerned holds a position of responsibility or trust and confidence.  He must be invested with confidence on delicate matters, such as custody handling or care and protection of the property and assets of the employer.  And, in order to constitute a just cause for dismissal, the act complained of must be work-related and shows that the employee concerned is unfit to continue to work for the employer."[30]

Loss of confidence must not be indiscriminately used as a shield by the employer against a claim that the dismissal of an employee was arbitrary.

While loss of confidence is a valid ground for dismissing an employee, it should not be simulated.[13] It must not be indiscriminately used as a shield by the employer against a claim that the dismissal of an employee was arbitrary.[14]
