When talking among themselves, my lolos (grandpas) in Chinatown (Binondo, Manila, Philippines) say that the matuwid na daan (straight path) is a really scary road. They say that at one end of the very smooth and straight road, is rock bottomed sea water at the foot of a matarik na bangin (deep cliff).

Lolo Mio says, if you fall from the bangin (cliff), you're dead anyway when your head hits the rocks at the bottom of the sea. It doesn't go deep unless you are at least a kilometer away from the island. On the other hand, at the other end, if you fall, at least a passing car or truck driver can pick you up if he cares for your corpse.

Otherwise, you might attract recovery teams and emergency and rescue people like this:

So much for being safe when you're traveling in the matuwid na daan.
