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 22NG0030 and 23N00133 have near-identical descriptions about 376 m apart (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱96.50M, ₱115.80M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second project is a continuation or extension of the first, or covers a nearby stretch of the river not limited to Barangay Mabuhay.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are nearly identical, with the only difference being that one specifies 'Barangay Mabuhay' while the other does not specify any barangay. There are no phase, package, or section markers, and the second title is simply less specific. The locations are close (376 m apart), and both are for flood mitigation along the same river in the same municipality, funded in consecutive years. This fits the guidance for publishing when one title is more specific and the other is unlabelled, as it could indicate a possible double funding or continuation not clearly labelled as such.
