EN: ballast
The graba (gravel) and rocks you see on railroad tracks. It's the unsung hero that keeps the MRT from shaking too much. In ships, it's the extra weight at the bottom that keeps it from tipping over, kinda like how your savings account is supposed to keep your finances stable during petsa de peligro.
