A person may be detained for 14 days, and extendable to 24 days without neither an arrest warrant nor charges filed, according to ATA. The said period is way much longer than what is allowed under Article 125 of the Revised Penal Code, which is between 12 to 36 hours, depending on crimes or offenses that they are accused of committing.
