Yes, I'm based here in the Philippines. Taking it to the streets may not be a good idea. We are talking a technology issue here and going to the streets is not appropriate and "hi-tech". As a regular Juan, I do not advise joining Anonymous Philippines. They are a set of trained hackers and a regular Juan might just destroy them. I respect them, but let's just let them do it and leave it that way.
What a regular Juan can do is protest via social network (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). It's a more high tech version of going to the streets. Spread awareness and campaign. Educate others for it is all about. Educate the politicians of what they are doing.
I think educating people is the best we can do.
