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 24CG0026 and 23CG0041 have near-identical descriptions about 108 m apart (funding years 2023, 2024; ₱91.49M, ₱91.63M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second contract is a continuation or next phase of the same project area.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The only distinguishing marker is 'Phase II' in the 2024 project, while the 2023 project has no phase marker. Both titles otherwise refer to the same location and type of work, and are only 108 meters apart. Per rule guidance, if one title has a phase marker and the other does not, this is a classic 'unlabelled twin' scenario and should be published.
