Continuity, History, and Identity: Why Bongbong Marcos Won the 2022 Philippine Presidential Election
In May of 2022, Bongbong Marcos won a commanding 59 percent of the vote to become president of the Philippines. His victory was, on some level, shocking to scholars and analysts of Philippine politics. As a result, a plethora of di erent theories have been proposed, in an attempt to explain why Marcos won. In this paper, we use nationally representative survey data to explore which factors predict (and do not predict) voting intention for Marcos.…
The Persistence of Ethnopopulist Support: The Case of Rodrigo Duterte's Philippines
The past few years have seen an emergence of populist leaders around the world, who have not only accrued but also maintained support despite rampant criticism, governance failures, and the ongoing COVID pandemic.

The paper tests whether support for harsh penal policies, including the use of extrajudicial killings, is associated with underlying populist attitudes and preferences for charismatic leadership. Since coming to power in 20…
The Dark Side of Electoralism: Opinion Polls and Voting in the 2016 Philippine Presidential Election
Despite the limits of elections as a mechanism to secure accountability and ensure substantive representation, the 2016 elections drew the highest turnout across elections held since the political transition in 1986, a clear indication of electoralism. The high turnout may be a result of a relatively tightly contested race, with each of the main contenders appealing to constituencies that they symbolically represent. Nonetheless, the 2016 Preside…
The Philippines in 2011
Twenty months in office, the Aquino administration has zealously pursued one of its avowed goals—to fight corruption and prepare the ground for transparent, accountable and participatory governance. Events in 2011 manifest the premium put by President Aquino on this goal, specifically securing the accountability of former President Arroyo as well as the incumbent Chief Justice of the Supreme Court through cases filed versus the former and an impe…
