Was LLF justified in withdrawing this benefit which it had unilaterally been providing to its employees? (A) Yes, because it is suffering losses for the first time. (B) Yes, because this is a management prerogative which is not due to any legal or contractual obligation. (C) No, because this amounts to a diminution of benefits which is prohibited by the Labor Code. (D) No, because it is a fringe benefit that has already ripened into a demandable right.
