EN: To walk on a tightrope or a narrow path; to traverse a bridge
This is the OG 'the floor is lava'. Remember crossing a log over a stream ('kanal') in the province? That's you, trying to **manulay**. It's all about balance and not falling. Figuratively, it’s what you do every payday: carefully navigating your budget until the next 'sweldo', trying not to fall into the pit of debt.
Nagmula sa unlaping 'man-' at salitang-ugat na 'tulay'.
