EDIT: The current government at the time of his death didn’t even want him transported back to the country. He had been in Hawaii for medical treatment. Eventually he got put in a mausoleum. In 2016 when he finally did get a burial, that sparked protest. If you think something other than ex-president can be used as a more appropriate label, I would like to know.
Anyone wondering what a “good” president in Philippines looks like, I was made (as a U.S. born Pinoy) to understand this: celebrities go into government because they are celebrities. In my family we used to joke that at the height of Justin Bieber’s popularity, he would get elected if he was Filipino. Just wanted to contrast things.
No joke, Manny Pacquiao was a senator at one time.
