Protection Order Expiry Clock

A Barangay Protection Order does not renew itself and does not last forever. Enter the date it was issued and this tool tells you the exact date it lapses. Based on RA 9262 §14–§16 — see the full who-can-file guide for everything else.

A Quick Exit button stays in the bottom-left corner of every screen — click it, or press Esc, and this site closes instantly to a neutral page.

This is not the same as reporting a crime

A protection order (BPO/TPO/PPO) is a civil order that keeps someone away and stops specific acts — this page only calculates when one expires. Reporting a crime is a separate process, handled by the police or prosecutor. The two are independent: filing for a protection order does not require filing criminal charges, and filing criminal charges does not require a protection order. See the full who-can-file guide for both paths.

As the expiry date gets close

A BPO or TPO does not extend itself past its 15 or 30 days. If you need protection to continue, the procedural step is to file for the next order — a TPO or PPO at the court — before the current one lapses, if you can.

DSWD can help you file → a DSWD social worker is one of the people RA 9262 §9(d) lets file a petition directly.
