PHILIPPINE EDUCATION CO. v. UNION OF PHILIPPINE EDUCATION EMPLOYEES

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

CARPIO, J.
Considering the foregoing, we find that respondents Apostol and Opulencia were dismissed by TIPI for a valid and just cause.  The relationship of employer and employee, specially where the employee has access to the employer's property, necessarily involves trust and confidence.[52] Where the rules laid down by the employer to protect its property are violated by the very employee who is entrusted and expected to follow and implement the rules, the employee may be validly dismissed from service.
