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 23KA0046 and 24KA0032 have near-identical descriptions about 433 m apart (funding years 2023, 2024; ₱57.90M, ₱96.50M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second project is a continuation or extension of the first phase, or covers a different segment not specified in the titles.

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, differing only in the spelling variant 'Brgy' vs 'barangay', which is not a distinguishing marker. Both are for flood mitigation structures along the same river, in the same barangay and municipality, funded in consecutive years, and by the same contractor. The distance between the coordinates (433 m) is above the strict threshold, but the titles and locations are otherwise indistinguishable, matching the rule's intent to flag possible duplicate or overlapping works.
