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 23I00017 and 23IF0071 have near-identical descriptions about 13 m apart (funding year 2023; ₱96.36M, ₱96.50M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that one contract covers the downstream section and the other covers the rest, but the titles do not clearly distinguish the scopes.
