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 24AI0036 and 24AI0057 have near-identical descriptions about 375 m apart (funding year 2024; ₱48.92M, ₱48.14M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. One project may be a continuation or unlabelled phase of the other.

How this was checked

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The only distinguishing marker is 'Package 1' in one title, while the other has no package/phase marker at all. Per rule guidance, this is a classic 'unlabelled twin' case and should be published. Both projects are in the same barangay, river, and city, funded in the same year, with near-identical titles and locations. Innocent explanations (such as a continuation or unlabelled phase) are plausible but do not block publication.
