Indicator C5 — Pattern Consistent with Contract Splitting

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

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: 11 contracts awarded to A C SOLIVEN CONST & GEN MERCHANDISE by the same office started within 46 days, each between ₱42.5M and ₱50M (just under the ₱50M threshold), with 9 in the same municipality. It is possible that these are separate projects for different sections or riverbanks, all scheduled in the same period for efficiency.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.98

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

This is a C5 indicator, and the code already confirmed ≥3 contracts in the same municipality, same contractor and DEO, within the time and value thresholds. The titles are similar but name different sections, rivers, or barangays, which is expected for C5 (not a reason to reject). There is no evidence of a data artifact or error. All required records are present.
