"On finding themselves in the economic doldrums, the demonstrators were both candid and thoughtful. “My generation has never experienced this,” said a student. “Since the dictatorship (which ended in 1985), Brazilians never bothered to take over the streets. They did not believe they had a reason to. But now Brazil is once again in crisis, with a constant rise in prices. So people are finally reacting.” “Our politicians need to see the strength we have as one people,” remarked a yoga instructor. “Brazilians tend to be too nice sometimes, they enjoy partying rather than protesting. But now something is changing.” We’ve been getting whiffs -- no, blasts -- of these same frustrations in the Philippines. One wonders when we will once again, and with better results, see street protests by hundreds of thousands of people?"
