Is this normal in Philippine companies? Red warning rainfall but employees are still expected to report onsite

This company really sucks.
How many Philippine companies are still like this? There’s a Red Warning rainfall, roads are flooded, and instead of prioritizing employee safety, the option is basically emergency leave without pay if you don’t report to the office. So technically, we have no real choice but to go.
WFH isn’t even an option because the entire area is company-owned, and apparently, the nearby establishments that rent from them supposedly “won’t earn” if employees work from home. Like… seriously?
And despite the yearly salary increase, the promised increase doesn’t seem to be properly implemented. Meanwhile, the workload just keeps getting heavier and heavier.
I understand that businesses need to operate, but at what point do companies start considering the people who keep the business running?
Red rainfall warning + no WFH + unpaid emergency leave + unreasonable workload = employee safety apparently comes last.
Curious if other employees in the Philippines are experiencing the same thing, or if this is just a particularly bad company culture.
