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 24OC0088 and 24OC0049 have near-identical descriptions about 442 m apart (funding year 2024; ₱48.25M, ₱96.50M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that these are two segments of the same flood mitigation project, with one specifically near Valley 8 and the other covering a broader area along the creek.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are nearly identical, with the only difference being the mention of 'near Valley 8' in the first title. Both are in the same barangay, municipality, and funding year, and are only 442 meters apart. There are no phase, package, or section markers, and 'Valley 8' is a local area within the same barangay, not a clear distinguishing marker for separate works. The overlap in scope and proximity makes this a valid anomaly worth public attention.
