I came out of MNL last month with the same restriction in place. Looked at the 180 turn on the runway. It should fit, the runway is 45 wide but there is extra where the taxiway joins. Also, I have found the er nose wheel tends tro skip in tight turns, increasing the radius We were at max ZFW (237) and 100 tons so pretty heavy. Decided against the turn, went from the intersection and still got full assumed benefit.
Prob most important, the Notam has no info about the length remaining from the intersection. The tower's initial clearance was for T/O from the inset.
When we asked for length remaining for the calc's, tower had no idea, took him a few minutes to find out.
I think the guys have been not been helped by:
Completely inadequate notam.
Lack of knowledge from the tower
I know the driver, he is a professional who does not push the limits, will be interesting to find his thoughts
