Contractor Concentration (Flood Control)

A contractor holds a very large share of flood-control contract value in a district or province.

This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.

Indicator: NORTHERN BUILDERS / RIANNE CONST received 48.5% (₱683.44M of ₱1.41B) of recorded flood-control contract value in Samar 2nd District Engineering Office across 18 contracts and 8 contractors, at or above the 25% share threshold (HHI 0.282). This may be due to the contractor's specialization or limited competition in the area.
