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 23FC0062 and 22FC0079 have near-identical descriptions about 2896 m apart (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱49.00M, ₱34.30M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that these are sequential phases or expansions of the same flood control project in the same barangay.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

Both project titles are identical, with no distinguishing markers or place names that would indicate different works. The only difference is the funding year and contractor, and the locations are within the same barangay but about 2.9 km apart. This fits the rule's guidance for publishing: near-identical titles at the same barangay/spot funded in different years, with no phase/section/segment/side/other marker distinguishing them. Innocent explanations (such as a continuation or expansion) are possible, but the pattern is genuinely unusual and worth public attention.
