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 24CE0195 and 24CE0125 have near-identical descriptions about 5525 m apart (funding year 2024; ₱4.90M, ₱24.60M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. These may be separate segments of flood control along the same river, but the titles do not specify this.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.98

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are near-identical, differing only by 'Brgy.' vs 'Barangay', which is a spelling variant and not a distinguishing marker. Both are for flood control structures along the same river in the same barangay and municipality, funded in the same year, and by the same contractor. The locations are about 5.5 km apart, which is plausible for separate segments but not explicitly stated in the titles. There are no phase, package, section, or other markers to distinguish them as separate works. The evidence is complete and meets the rule's criteria.
