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 23I00006 and 24IC0063 have near-identical descriptions about 996 m apart (funding years 2023, 2024; ₱106.15M, ₱96.41M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. These may be sequential phases or extensions of flood control works 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, both refer to the same river and barangay, and are about 996 meters apart. There are no distinguishing markers such as different phases, sections, or locations. The only difference in the title is the word 'Structure' in the first, which is not a distinguishing marker per the rules. The funding years are consecutive, which could indicate a continuation or expansion, but this is not explicitly stated. The evidence is complete and meets the rule's criteria for publishing.
