This study theorizes that individual subjective health combined with the extent of democratic (and nondemocratic political attitude) explains political trust in the Philippines. It hypothesizes that healthier\u00a0<em>authoritarian<\/em>\u00a0citizens are more likely to express favorable views towards political institutions because these individuals possess conservative values who put, among others, a premium on maintenance of order and stability. Such political values are activated upon the arrival of strongmen. Using data from the 2019\u00a0<em>World Values Survey<\/em>, estimates strongly support such an argument. The novel operationalization of this study nuances the view of citizen attitudes on political trust in developing democracies. Overall, the main results not only add credence to the cultural origins of political trust, but it also illuminates on why Philippine political institutions remain trusted despite the botched pandemic response and Filipinos\u2019 enduring support for leaders like Duterte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords<br \/>authoritarian values \u2013 health \u2013 institutions \u2013 political trust \u2013 public opinion \u2013 Rodrigo Duterte \u2013 populism \u2013 World Values Survey<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Link to the Article<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/doi.org\/10.1163\/2165025x-bja10034\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ronald A.
