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 22MG0009 and 23MG0023 have near-identical descriptions about 995 m apart (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱39.18M, ₱14.67M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second contract is a continuation or expansion of the first project in a nearby area.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The titles are near-identical except for the singular/plural form of 'project/projects', which is not a distinguishing marker. Both refer to 'Channel 1' in Koronadal City, South Cotabato, with no phase, package, section, or different place names to distinguish them. The projects are about 995 meters apart, which is outside the 100m threshold for automatic rejection. The evidence is complete and meets the rule's criteria for a plausible duplicate or overlapping scope.
