>>212603798I dont think its about the money, but he probably got addicted to the fame. He was the most respected and well loved person in the Philippines at one point. It also doesnt help that we have a new generation of reddit types who hasnt seen his work in the past and solely knew him from his days as a senator(still based was basically a fundamentalist Christian that made sure no globohomo bills get passed in congress)
I still defend him today, but its just sad, its like watching your favorite celebrity get bogged instead of aging with grace.
