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 24CG0008 and 22CG0094 have near-identical descriptions about 245 m apart (funding years 2022, 2024; ₱4.68M, ₱4.69M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that these are two separate slope protection segments in the same barangay funded in different years.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are near-identical and refer to the same barangay and municipality, with only minor wording differences ('Structure' vs. none, 'Barangay' vs. none). There are no phase, package, section, or site markers that would distinguish them as separate works. The projects are about 245 meters apart, which is above the strict 100m threshold, but the high title similarity and lack of distinguishing markers make this a plausible case of possible duplicate or overlapping works. The evidence is complete and checkable.
