It has been a bloody week in Cairo and Suez. As Mubarak continues to resist the call for his resignation, the Egyptian civilians continue to flood the streets with protests. Government had already blocked social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, which played big roles in the assembly of anti-Mubarak supporters. The 82-year old dictator has already called out government change and promised reforms. But it seems that Mubarak fails to understand that the Egyptians will not be appeased until he steps down.

It is difficult not to feel for the 80M people from Egypt calling for a change in government structure and leadership. It is not too long ago when the Filipinos were also under the same conditions of oppression under a dictator who led a nation to its downfall. In this time of instability, the most we can do is simply pray for a nation that is as broken as we were more than two decades ago.
