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 23CJ0028 and 23CJ0158 have near-identical descriptions about 281 m apart (funding year 2023; ₱47.53M, ₱49.50M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that one contract covers a broader section ('Ayson to Dicolor'), while the other focuses only on the 'Dicolor Section', but the overlap in location and scope makes it worth checking.
