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: 10 contracts awarded to VILLAR GEN CONST AND SUPPLIES by the same office started within 57 days, each between ₱42.5M and ₱50M (just under the ₱50M threshold), with 6 in the same municipality. It is common for flood control projects to be distributed across multiple barangays within a municipality in a single funding year.

This is a textbook C5 case: 10 contracts, same contractor and DEO, all just under the ₱50M threshold, started within 57 days, with 6 in the same municipality. The titles show different barangays and rivers, as expected for C5 (which clusters by municipality, not by site). The code already confirmed the math and thresholds. There is no data artifact or false positive.
