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 22GK0021 and 24GK0014 have near-identical descriptions about 2028 m apart (funding years 2022, 2024; ₱49.00M, ₱96.50M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second project is a continuation or expansion of the same abutment or structure funded in a later year.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are near-identical with no distinguishing markers (no different phases, sections, or place names), and both refer to 'Abutment "B", Malogo River, Victorias City'. The only differences are minor wording ('of' vs comma), which are not distinguishing. The projects are about 2 km apart, which is outside the usual threshold, but the rule is for near-duplicate titles within the same municipality, and the code has already flagged this as a possible duplicate. Innocent explanations (such as a continuation or expansion of the same abutment) are plausible but do not block publishing.
