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 24HO0090 and 24HO0091 have near-identical descriptions about 170 m apart (funding year 2024; ₱96.50M, ₱96.50M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the two contracts cover adjacent or continuous sections of the same revetment wall, with each contract assigned to a different segment.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two contracts have near-identical titles, both refer to the same sitios and barangay, and are funded in the same year with the same contractor and nearly identical costs. The only difference is the order of the sitios in the title, which is not a distinguishing marker. The distance between the projects is 170 meters, slightly above the 100m threshold, but the titles and other details strongly suggest possible overlap or duplication. There are no distinguishing markers or additional place names that would indicate these are separate works.
