AI-verified / Na-verify ng AI Data as of October 21, 2026

Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling

Contract cost is at or above 99.5% of ABC from Sumbong.

This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.

Indicator: contract 22OA0047 lists a cost of ₱49.50M, 1.02% above its Approved Budget for the Contract of ₱49.00M. Under RA 9184, awards normally may not exceed the ABC. This may be due to a data entry error or a late adjustment to the ABC that was not reflected in the records.
