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 24OD0022 and 24OD0036 have near-identical descriptions at the same coordinates (funding year 2024; ₱84.66M, ₱84.64M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. One project may be a continuation or expansion of the other, but the lack of a phase label in one title makes this unclear.

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The only distinguishing marker is 'Phase 2' in one title, while the other has no phase marker at all. Per rule guidance, this is a classic 'unlabelled twin' case and should be published. Both projects are at the exact same coordinates, in the same barangay, with near-identical titles and funding years, but different contractors. Innocent explanations are possible, but the pattern is genuinely unusual and worth public attention.
