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 23KD0019 and 23KD0020 have near-identical descriptions at the same coordinates (funding year 2023; ₱33.61M, ₱9.60M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible these are two adjacent or sequential segments of the same dike, but the titles do not clearly distinguish them.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.78

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

Both project titles refer to the 'Construction of Cugman River Dike (Tablon Side/Down Stream/Downstream)' at Brgy. Tablon, Cagayan de Oro City, with identical coordinates and funding year. The only differences in the titles are minor wording variations ('Down Stream' vs 'Downstream', 'Brgy.' vs 'at'), which are not distinguishing markers per the rule. No phase, package, section, or different site is indicated. The cost difference is notable but not explained by the titles. This fits the rule's publish criteria for potentially overlapping or duplicate works.
