December Award Spike
At least half of an office's yearly PhilGEPS award value was awarded in December, at least twice its usual December share.
This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.
Indicator: 63.8% of DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH - EASTERN VISAYAS CENTER FOR HEALTH DEV's 2020 PhilGEPS award value (₱62.97M of ₱98.68M) was awarded in December, versus a median of 2.4% in its other 5 years.

Possible Innocent Explanations
- Year-end awarding is common in the Philippine budget cycle (late releases, obligating before appropriations lapse); this flags only offices far above their own norm.
- The spike may be due to emergency procurement and infrastructure projects related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which required urgent spending at year-end.
