Cardinal Sin played a key role in the Philippines’ transition to democracy, being involved in the toppling of both Ferdinand Marcos in 1986 and Joseph Estrada in 2001. Known for his wit, he once said of the corruption which persisted after Marcos was ousted: “We got rid of Ali Baba but the 40 thieves remained.”
