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 23CD0063 and 22CD0005 have near-identical descriptions about 2184 m apart (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱96.50M, ₱94.07M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that these are sequential phases or extensions of the same flood control project funded in different 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 only minor spelling/number differences ('Santo' vs 'Sto.' and 'Structure' vs 'Structures'), which are not distinguishing markers per the rules. Both projects are in the same municipality, funded in consecutive years, and are about 2.1 km apart, which is outside the 100m threshold but still close enough to warrant public attention given the high title similarity and same contractor. There are no phase, package, section, or site markers that would distinguish them as separate works.
