Suspension?

Taal Volcano erupted yesterday, leaving devastation in the surrounding provinces. Its ash fall reached as far as Metro Manila, yet we’re still required to report for work. Although it’s now clear outside who knows what kind of toxic particles we’re breathing in by exposing ourselves to the ash? Flights and classes have been suspended since yesterday. The government also urged companies to suspend work and many complied except ours.  I heard that they might let us off soon. But what’s the point of that when we’re already here? We might as well stay and finish the day’s work.
