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.

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.
- This may be due to delayed procurement processes or budget releases, which often result in more awards being finalized at year-end.
