It was defined by law in 2011. Since then, everyone in the country had to change all plugs and sockets to match this new standard. Some said that this is a good reason enough to throw the former president Lula in the jail.

The Brazilian standard plug has 220v which is good and the three pins means it has earth, live and neutral, it's farly similar to the plugs used in a number of European countries.
Here in the Philippines, it's 110, and wall outlets are designed to accept either USA or Euro plugs. I hate Euro plugs, they don't grip the prongs and an unbalanced adapter plug just falls out of the wall from gravity. You have to tape them in place with duct tape of prop them up with books.

I can't control the sockets. They are attached to public buildings built by the lowest bidder. I have had problems in the past trying to charge my devices in Euro countries, they fall out of the wall Especially if there is an adapter in between.. Or if the socket is mounted with the two pin holes vertically aligned.

That sounds rather impossible. The sockets in Europe are recessed for the most part, they can't fall out the wall on their own. You must have used some make-shift setup.
