It is an interesting question. I won't lie, even in their own cities, I find it hard to believe Obama and Bill Gates are 'universally' liked. Even though I personally like them a lot, they are two of the most polarizing people in the USA.
Out of the people who say they live in Philly and spend time here, I probably would have said Will Smith for a long time, but he slapped Chris Rock a few months ago and caused a stir. Quest Love of the Roots is probably near the top. Miles Teller just made it big in Top Gun, so he's also a popular guy to try to snag a photo with at the moment. Embiid is a larger-than-life character that is mostly, if not completely, loved. Bryce Harper has been on a roll so he might be the best answer atm. Quinta Brunson and Sheryl Lee Ralph's Abbott Elementary school show is very popular right now to and both are very much admired by most people.
Everyone loves Patti LaBelle and she meets all the specs. I'd say M. Night Shyamalan but I'm not sure if he has a lot of haters or not.
Either Jerry Springer or Bootsy Collins, since they still live in the area.
