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 22DL0070 and 23DL0089 have near-identical descriptions about 7 m apart (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱19.60M, ₱44.10M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second contract is a continuation or expansion of the first project, but the titles do not clearly indicate this.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are nearly identical, with the only difference being the addition of 'Package A' in the second title. There are no phase, section, or location markers distinguishing them, and both are at nearly the same coordinates (7 meters apart). This fits the guidance for publishing as a possible unlabelled twin or continuation, especially since the only difference is a package marker and the other has none. The evidence is complete and checkable.
