However, limited empirical evidence has been carried out in the Philippines where cycles of regime change and authoritarian leadership have characterized its post-authoritarian landscape. Examining multiple public opinion data from the Asian Barometer Survey, this study found that regardless of the political leadership across different regimes, Filipino citizens expressed attitudinal dispositions, i.e. conforming, anti-political pluralism, and support for strong leaders, that constitute authoritarian political values. But instead of a destabilizing effect, estimates from ordinary least squares indicate that Filipino citizens\u2019 authoritarian tendencies enhance institutional trust\u2014seen as an indicator of support for the political system. The findings of this study empirically challenge the view of democratization in the Philippines by foregrounding its \u2018populist-authoritarian\u2019 dimension. In addition, they provide evidence of a growing scholarship in comparative political studies that claims that courting confidence for political institutions and regime support does not necessitate a \u2018liberal-democratic\u2019 model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Keywords\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/keyword\/Authoritarian+Values\">authoritarian values<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/keyword\/Institutional+Trust\">institutional trust<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/keyword\/Political+Institutions\">political institutions<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/keyword\/Populism\">populism<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/keyword\/Philippines\">Philippines<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Link to the Article<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/2057891121992118\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ronald A Pernia Abstract Studies on authoritarian values, which have mostly focused on authoritarian regimes and on democracies with spells of authoritarianism, suggest trust in public institutions.
