Indicator C5 — Pattern Consistent with Contract Splitting

AI-verified / Na-verify ng AI Data as of October 21, 2026

Pattern Consistent with Contract Splitting

Multiple similar contracts to the same contractor/DEO just under a threshold in a short window.

This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.

Indicator: 5 contracts awarded to LANOY CONST by the same office started within 41 days, each between ₱42.5M and ₱50M (just under the ₱50M threshold), with 4 in the same municipality. It is possible that these are separate flood control projects planned for different barangays or river sections as part of a larger flood mitigation program.

This is a textbook C5 indicator: five contracts, all just under the ₱50M threshold, awarded to the same contractor by the same DEO within 41 days, with four in the same municipality. The titles are similar but refer to different barangays and/or river sections, which is expected for C5 (the rule is designed for clusters of similar projects in one area). There is no evidence of a data artifact or false positive.
