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 24AI0030 and 24AI0059 have near-identical descriptions at the same coordinates (funding year 2024; ₱48.92M, ₱48.25M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that one project is a continuation or an unlabelled phase of the other.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

Both projects are at identical coordinates, in the same municipality, and funded in the same year. The titles are highly similar and refer to the same river and barangays, with only minor wording differences. The only distinguishing marker is 'Package A' in one title, but the other title does not specify a package or phase, which per guidance means this could be an unlabelled twin or a continuation not clearly marked. No clear evidence they are distinct works.
