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 24CA0023 and 23CA0012 have near-identical descriptions about 331 m apart (funding years 2023, 2024; ₱9.90M, ₱19.60M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second project is a repair or extension of the first, or covers a different portion of the same flood control structure.

How this was checked

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The titles are near-identical and refer to the same barangay and municipality, with no distinguishing markers such as phase, package, section, or different sitios/locations. The only differences are the words 'along' and 'damaged', which do not clearly indicate different works. The projects are about 331 meters apart and funded in consecutive years, which could indicate either a continuation, repair, or possible double funding. All required records and fields are present.
