Yes, and no.

They are valid for a year but I just found out that if I go into Dumaguete BI and get a 6 month tourist visa then my ACR card must have 6 months validity left on it.  As mine did not then I had to buy a new one before the year was up.  I have yet to discover if the renewed card is valid from the date my old one should have expired or from the date I paid for it.  I strongly suspect the latter.  I don't expect to get the physical, plastic ACR card for a couple weeks so I won't know until I look at it.

My original one was dated until 23/09/16. As my renewals were in August then October I attempted to apply for the new in August. I was told to wait until October to renew because it had not run out, this I duly did and my new one is dated from 25/10/16. So it appears it is dated upon renewal.

As in all things Philippines, I never accept the obvious.  From your statement (which was exactly the same as my experience up until last week)  I could only conclude that "it appears it WAS dated upon renewal"  Have to wait until next time to see if it still is:89:
