Short answer. Yes, if it is a court order. The Act provides that all temporary and permanent protection orders issued under it are enforceable anywhere in the Philippines. Moving does not require you to obtain a new one, and it does not confine the order to the province where it was issued.
What the law says
All TPOs and PPOs issued under this Act shall be enforceable anywhere in the Philippines
RA 9262, Section 12 — Enforceability Of Orders. Read the full provision →
The phrase is unqualified
It says anywhere in the Philippines, and attaches no condition — no re-filing in the new province, no registration with the court there, no endorsement by the local police. The provision was written this way because an order that stopped at a provincial boundary would push a woman to choose between staying within reach of a court and moving out of reach of the person the order is against. Nothing in the section makes the protection lapse or weaken because you have relocated.
What violating one carries
The Act attaches consequences in two places. The section on enforceability provides that a violation is punishable with a fine ranging from five thousand to fifty thousand pesos and, or alternatively, imprisonment of six months. Separately, the Act provides that violating any provision of a temporary or permanent order constitutes contempt of court under the Rules of Court, and that this is without prejudice to any other criminal or civil action the offended party may bring for the acts committed. Those are cumulative routes, not substitutes.
A barangay order is a different instrument
The enforceability rule is written about court orders. A barangay protection order is issued by a barangay official, runs for fifteen days, and a complaint for violating it is filed directly with the municipal, metropolitan or municipal circuit trial court having territorial jurisdiction over the barangay that issued it — a court tied to the place of issue. If what you hold is a barangay order and you are leaving the area, that is a reason to ask about a court application rather than to rely on it.
What to do on the move
Carry a copy of the order itself; it must bear a printed warning, in bold or capital letters, that violating it is punishable by law, which is what a responding officer will want to see. Keep the court informed of the mailing address you can be reached at, because service still drives hearing dates on the permanent order. Records of these cases are confidential, so a new barangay or station is not entitled to circulate your details. Ask a lawyer whether a fresh application in the new place would add anything.
