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 22A00122 and 23A00254 have near-identical descriptions about 1599 m apart (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱28.95M, ₱46.81M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second contract is a continuation or extension of the first project, or covers a different segment of the river not clearly distinguished in the titles.
Only contractors and government agencies named in public procurement records are shown. Private individuals are not named.
