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 24HH0008 and 22HH0007 have near-identical descriptions about 1040 m apart (funding years 2022, 2024; ₱144.60M, ₱26.59M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. These may be sequential or adjacent segments of flood control works along the same river, funded in different years.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The titles are near-identical and refer to the same river and barangay, with only a possible extension to 'San Jose' in one title. There are no phase/package/section markers or clearly different sites; 'Barangay Bacayan-San Jose' vs 'Brgy. Bacayan' could indicate either a more specific or extended area, but not a clearly distinct project. The projects are about 1 km apart, which is plausible for a continuation or adjacent segment, but the lack of explicit segment/phase markers means this could be a duplicate or overlapping funding. The evidence is complete and the public can check the records.
