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 24CF0021 and 24CF0092 have near-identical descriptions at the same coordinates (funding year 2024; ₱144.75M, ₱70.93M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second project is an extension or additional component (such as a road dike) covering an adjacent barangay.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.70

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

Both projects are at the exact same coordinates, in the same municipality, and funded in the same year. The titles are highly similar and both refer to flood mitigation/control structures along the Peñaranda River in Gapan City. The only differences are that one title mentions 'Barangay San Vicente' while the other mentions 'Barangays San Vicente-San Lorenzo' and includes 'Road Dike'. There is no clear phase, package, or section marker distinguishing them as separate works. The overlap in location and scope, with only a minor extension in the second title, fits the guidance for publishing as a possible duplicate or overlapping project.
