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 24GF0117 and 22GF0119 have near-identical descriptions about 1423 m apart (funding years 2022, 2024; ₱19.75M, ₱29.11M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. These may be different segments or phases of river control works funded in separate years.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are near-identical, with the only difference being the word 'Structure' in one title. There are no distinguishing markers such as phase, package, section, or different place names. The projects are about 1.4 km apart, which is outside the strict 100m threshold but still close enough to warrant public attention, especially since both are in the same municipality and refer to the same river. Innocent explanations are possible (e.g., different segments or extensions), but the evidence is sufficient and clear for public review.
