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 24FG0058 and 23FG0055 have near-identical descriptions about 519 m apart (funding years 2023, 2024; ₱93.44M, ₱49.00M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second contract is a continuation or extension of the first project, but this is not labeled in the titles.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

Both project titles are completely identical with no distinguishing markers, and both are located in the same barangay and municipality, funded in consecutive years, by the same contractor, and within 519 meters of each other. There are no phase, package, section, or site markers to distinguish them, so this fits the rule's publish criteria for possible duplicate or overlapping works.
