It's the opposite here. People commute to work by bike to reach the place of work on time. Heavy traffic would eat most of your time when you are in a car. However, the Philippines is a tropical country and Metro Manila is a very dusty place so office workers like me cannot consider riding to work. Most of the morning riders I see are messengers and laborers who don't need to look at their best at work.
What you do in your case is have an extra set of clothes at your place of work with a deodorant, and if you don't have a shower that you can use to freshen up, maybe you could freshen up at the sink, not strip down all the way, but do enough so you're presentable to work all day with your coworkers.
