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 23AJ0068 and 24AJ0057 have near-identical descriptions about 360 m apart (funding years 2023, 2024; ₱4.84M, ₱6.76M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. The second project may simply be an extension of the drainage to cover a longer stretch including Bued.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The titles are near-identical and refer to the same barangay, with the only difference being that the 2024 project extends to 'Bued.' There are no phase, package, or section markers, and the only additional place name is 'Bued,' which suggests the second project may be a continuation or expansion of the first. The distance (360 m) is above the strict threshold but still close enough to warrant public attention, especially since the titles overlap in scope. All necessary records and URLs are present.
