Looks like he was tracking the edge stripe thinking it was the centerline stripe.
Did that myself, for the first time, earlier this year. Night, rainy, using turn button at the end of the runway. Realized it before it became embarrassing.

Immediate note to self at the time: No matter how good and experienced the old man is, the FO should carefully monitor the operation.

Saudi Airlines plane swerves off Manila runway
Manila: A Saudi Arabian Airlines plane swerved off the runway at Manila's international airport and became stuck in the mud as it prepared to take off Tuesday evening after a heavy rain, officials said.
None of the 298 passengers was hurt, but at least 11 other flights were delayed by the blocked runway.
The airport authority said workers were attempting to remove the Boeing 747 from the runway.
Flight SV871 bound for Riyadh was canceled and the passengers were taken away by bus and put up in a hotel. Officials could not immediately say when the runway would be cleared.

All operating into and out of Manila, know how tight and narrow the taxiways are. They are basically traps for all wide body a/c. Its time the Phillipines did something about them.
