Pattern Consistent with Contract Splitting
Multiple similar contracts to the same contractor/DEO just under a threshold in a short window.
This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.
Indicator: 3 contracts awarded to C & F CONST & DEVELOPMENT CORP by the same office started within 56 days, each between ₱42.5M and ₱50M (just under the ₱50M threshold), with 3 in the same municipality. It is possible these are separate phases or segments of a larger flood control project, each bid out individually for project management or funding reasons.
Only contractors and government agencies named in public procurement records are shown. Private individuals are not named.
