9262 allows for the issuance of three (3) kinds of protection orders: a Barangay
Protection Order, a Temporary Protection Order, and a Permanent Protection Order. A Barangay
Protection Order is issued by a Punong Barangay or by a Barangay Kagawad. (Pavlow v. Mendenilla,
G.R. No. 181489, [April 19, 2017], 809 PHIL 24-64)
TAKE NOTE:
In the same manner as the public prosecutor ascertains through a preliminary inquiry or
proceeding "whether there is reasonable ground to believe that an offense has been committed
and the accused is probably guilty thereof," the Punong Barangay must determine reasonable
ground to believe that an imminent danger of violence against the woman and her children exists
or is about to recur that would necessitate the issuance of a BPO. The preliminary investigation
conducted by the prosecutor is, concededly, an executive, not a judicial, function. The same holds
true with the issuance of a BPO.
