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 22FC0074 and 23FC0061 have near-identical descriptions about 2834 m apart (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱33.27M, ₱48.25M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible these are separate contracts for different segments or a continuation of the same project not labelled as a new phase.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

Both projects have identical titles with no distinguishing markers, are in the same barangay and municipality, and are funded in consecutive years. The distance between the coordinates (2834 m) is above the threshold for 'identical location', but the titles do not specify different sites or phases beyond 'Phase 1', which is present in both. This fits the rule's guidance for publishing: near-identical titles at the same spot funded in different years, with no distinguishing marker. Innocent explanations (e.g., a multi-year project with separate contracts for different segments, or a continuation not labelled as Phase 2) should be mentioned.
