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 23CK0044 and 22CK0055 have near-identical descriptions about 104 m apart (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱47.19M, ₱49.00M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second contract is a continuation or expansion of the first project.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are near-identical, both refer to rehabilitation along the O'Donnell River, Bueno Section, Left Bank, Capas, Tarlac, and are only 104 meters apart. The only extra words are 'Barangay' and 'dike' in the first title, which do not clearly distinguish the works as separate. There are no phase, package, section, or other distinguishing markers. The funding years are consecutive, which could indicate either a continuation or a possible double funding. The evidence is complete and meets the rule's criteria.
