Section 8. Protection Orders. - A protection order is an order issued under this Act for the purpose of preventing
further acts of violence against a woman or her child specified in Section 5 of this Act and granting other necessary
relief. The relief granted under a protection order should serve the purpose of safeguarding the victim from further
harm, minimizing any disruption in the victim's daily life, and facilitating the opportunity and ability of the victim to
independently regain control over her life. The provisions of the protection order shall be enforced by law
enforcement agencies. The protection orders that may be issued under this Act are the barangay protection order
(BPO), temporary protection order (TPO) and permanent protection order (PPO). The protection orders that may be
issued under this Act shall include any, some or all of the following reliefs:
(a)
Prohibition of the respondent from threatening to commit or committing, personally or through
another, any of the acts mentioned in Section 5 of this Act;
(b) Prohibition of the respondent from harassing, annoying, telephoning, contacting or otherwise
communicating with the petitioner, directly or indirectly;
(c)
Removal and exclusion of the respondent from the residence of the petitioner, regardless of
ownership of the residence, either temporarily for the purpose of protecting the petitioner, or
permanently where no property rights are violated, and, if respondent must remove personal
effects from the residence, the court shall direct a law enforcement agent to accompany the
respondent to the residence, remain there until respondent has gathered his things and escort
respondent from the residence;
(d) Directing the respondent to stay away from petitioner and any designated family or household
member at a distance specified by the court, and to stay away from the residence, school, place of
employment, or any specified place frequented by the petitioner and any designated family or
household member;
(e)
Directing lawful possession and use by petitioner of an automobile and other essential personal
effects, regardless of ownership, and directing the appropriate law enforcement officer to
accompany the petitioner to the residence of the parties to ensure that the petitioner is safely
restored to the possession of the automobile and other essential personal effects, or to supervise
the petitioner's or respondent's removal of personal belongings;
(f)
Granting a temporary or permanent custody of a child/children to the petitioner;
