REYES, J.
Loss of trust and confidence is premised on the fact that the employee concerned holds a position of responsibility, trust and confidence.  The employee must be invested with confidence on delicate matters, such as the custody, handling, care and protection of the employer's property and funds.[18]  "[W]ith respect to rank-and-file personnel, loss of trust and confidence as ground for valid dismissal requires proof of involvement in the alleged events in question, and that mere uncorroborated assertions and accusations by the employer will not be sufficient."[19]

DEL CASTILLO, J.
In Mendoza v. HMS Credit Corporation,[48] we held that the posting of an appeal bond in the amount of P650,000.00 instead of P1,025,081.82 award stated in the Decision of the Labor Arbiter is substantial compliance with the requirement under Article 223.  Likewise, in Pasig Cylinder Mfg. Corp. v. Rollo,0);">[49] we ruled that the filing of a reduced appeal bond of P100,000.00 is not fatal in an appeal from the labor arbiter's ruling awarding P3,132,335.57 to the dismissed employees. In Rosewood Processing, Inc. v. National Labor Relations Commission,[50] we allowed the filing of a reduced bond of P50,000.00, accompanied with a motion, in an appeal from the Labor Arbiter's award of P789,154.39.
