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 23KK0013 and 23KK0079 have near-identical descriptions at the same coordinates (funding year 2023; ₱96.50M, ₱72.38M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that these are separate but adjacent structures or phases that were not clearly labeled as such in the titles.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two projects have identical coordinates and near-identical titles, with only the word 'Structure' present in one title and no distinguishing markers such as phase, package, section, or different place names. Both are in the same barangay, river, and municipality, funded in the same year, but by different contractors. This fits the rule's criteria for a potentially duplicate or overlapping project worth public attention.
