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 22HO0068 and 22HO0086 have near-identical descriptions about 23 m apart (funding year 2022; ₱49.00M, ₱49.00M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that these are the same project entered twice with slight title variations.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.98

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are near-identical, with only minor differences in word order and formatting (e.g., 'Brgy. Poblacion to Brgy. Legaspi' vs 'Brgy. Legaspi to Brgy. Poblacion', and spacing in station numbers). Both cover the same road section (Sta. 0+000 - Sta. 0+167) in the same municipality, with the same contractor, funding year, and nearly identical costs. There are no distinguishing markers indicating these are different works. This fits the rule's publish criteria for possible duplicate or overlapping projects.
