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 24CD0029 and 23CD0083 have near-identical descriptions about 85 m apart (funding years 2023, 2024; ₱4.95M, ₱4.88M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second project is a continuation or expansion of the first, or covers a different aspect (such as slope protection) of the same site.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are near-identical, both refer to 'Flood Control Structure' at (Brgy./Barangay) Bahay Pare, Meycauayan City, Bulacan, and are only 85 meters apart. The only differences in the titles are the addition of '(Slope Protection)' in one and the use of 'Brgy.' vs 'Barangay', which are not distinguishing markers per the rule. There are no phase, package, or section markers, and both are in consecutive years. Innocent explanations (e.g., continuation or expansion of works) are plausible but do not block publishing.
