Abstract
The argument that trust in government is closely related to people’s happiness is widely shared, and the annual World Happiness Report uses trust in the state as one indicator of people’s happiness. There are also numerous studies on the relationship between people’s trust in government and their level of life satisfaction. In this paper, I examined the relationship between people’s trust in government (especially local government) and their level of life satisfaction in the Philippines, keeping in mind previous studies. To do so, I used the results of the “2019 Public Opinion Survey on Local Government in the Philippines”, conducted by the research team I participated in, and conducted a statistical analysis. Results varied by item of satisfaction, but for most items of satisfaction, the higher the level of trust in local government, especially barangay government, the more satisfied people were, regardless of the influence of the control variables.
