Indicator C3 — Duplicate or Near-Duplicate Projects

AI-verified / Na-verify ng AI Data as of October 21, 2026

Duplicate or Near-Duplicate Projects

Very similar descriptions within ~100m or identical coordinates across contracts/years.

This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.

Indicator: contracts 22PA0335 and 22PA0337 have near-identical descriptions about 1241 m apart (funding year 2022; ₱49.00M, ₱95.24M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. The two contracts may cover different sections or structures within Barangay Mudeng, with 'Caribot' referring to a specific site.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.70

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are nearly identical, both for flood control structures in Barangay Mudeng, La Paz, Abra, funded in the same year. The only difference is the word 'Caribot' in the first title, which may refer to a specific structure or area within Barangay Mudeng, but there is no clear phase, package, or section marker, nor a different barangay or sitio. The distance between the projects (1241 m) is above the 100 m threshold, but the high title similarity and overlapping location suggest possible overlap or duplication. Innocent explanation is plausible but does not block publishing.
