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 22AJ0055 and 23AJ0010 have near-identical descriptions about 61 m apart (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱9.90M, ₱19.21M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second project is a continuation or extension of the first, or covers a nearby section of the same riverbank.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

Both titles refer to slope protection works in Barangay Malimpec, Malasiqui, Pangasinan, funded in consecutive years and located only 61 meters apart. The only additional words in the second title are 'Ingalera River' and the full spelling of 'Barangay', which does not clearly distinguish the works as separate phases, packages, or locations. There are no phase, package, or section markers, and both works are in the same barangay. This fits the rule's guidance for publishing: near-identical titles at the same spot in different years, with no clear distinguishing marker.
