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 24CC0055 and 24CC0039 have near-identical descriptions about 274 m apart (funding year 2024; ₱99.00M, ₱96.50M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second contract is a continuation or a different phase that was not labeled as such in the title.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.80

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The only distinguishing marker is 'Phase III' in the first title, while the second title has no phase or package marker. Per rule guidance, if one title has a phase/package marker and the other has none, this is a classic 'unlabelled twin' scenario and should be published. The evidence is complete and the public can check the records.
