Salary Deduction as Penalty for job mistake

Hi Good day,

Need ko lang po ng tulong to clarify, if it is legal for the company to deduct from my salary ung cost incurred due to the mistake i have made on performing my responsibilities.

Here what happened;
I erronously instruct an employee directly under my supervision to pack wrong items for shipment bound to USA, the shipment was picked up by courrier and upon learning my mistake I immedietly coordinate with the courrier to return the shipment to us, they have been able to returned the shipment to us, but the courrier have charged our company for the delivery and picked penalty for the shipment.
I recieved a memo from the HR department that thay will deduct the penalty incurred by that mistake to my salary.

Thank you for any help i can get.
