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 23CI0079 and 23CI0043 have near-identical descriptions at the same coordinates (funding year 2023; ₱4.89M, ₱38.36M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. One contract may cover drainage works citywide or in multiple barangays, while the other is specifically for Brgy. Cutcut.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two contracts have identical coordinates and highly similar titles, with the only difference being that one specifies 'Brgy. Cutcut' while the other is more general ('Angeles City, Pampanga'). There is no phase, package, or section marker distinguishing them, and the more general title could plausibly include the more specific one. This fits the guidance for publishing as a possible unlabelled twin or overlapping scope at the same spot.
