BPO

No a BPO does not translate to Business Process Outsourcing. 

In legal parlance, it refers to a Barangay Protection Order (BPO).

The Barangay Protection Order (BPO) is a creation of the anti- violence against women and their children act of 2004.

Barangay Protection Order (BPO) is usually issued by the Punong Barangay (Barangay Captain). It primarily seeks to stop further violence against the victim/s.

The protection order aims to minimize "the disruption of the normal daily existence of the victim/s and to facilitate the strengthening of the ability of the victim/s to control her/their life.


It is effective for fifteen days(15) days.
