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.

A  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.
