To clear things up, here's an article from the LCP:

Can an employee be compelled to render overtime?

When an employee spends additional time for work, he puts in more physical and mental effort. It is but proper that he be compensated for that. He is also delayed in going home and cannot spend time with family and enjoy the comforts of his home. As such, the law discourages employers to require employees to work overtime. Generally, he cannot compel the employee to render overtime, except in certain instances (Sec 10, Rule I, Bk. III, IRR) to wit:

1) When the country is at war or when any other national or local emergency has been declared by the National Assembly or the Chief Executive;

2) When overtime work is necessary to prevent loss of life or property, or in case of imminent danger to public safety due to actual or impending emergency in the locality caused by serious accident, fire, floods, typhoons, earthquake, epidemic or other disaster or calamities;

3) When there is urgent work to be performed on machineries, installations, or equipment, in order to avoid serious loss or damage to the employer or some other causes of similar nature;

4) When the work is necessary to prevent loss or damage to perishable goods;

5) When the completion or continuation of work started before the 8th hour is necessary to prevent serious obstruction or prejudice to the business or operations of the employer;

6) When overtime work is necessary to avail of favorable weather or environmental conditions where performance or quality of work is dependent thereon.
