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 22IG0009 and 23IG0034 have near-identical descriptions at the same coordinates (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱48.44M, ₱52.41M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second contract is a continuation or expansion of the original project.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.98

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two contracts have near-identical titles (the only difference is 'Brgy.' vs 'Barangay', which is not a distinguishing marker per the rules), are at exactly the same coordinates, and are for the same type of work at the same location in consecutive years. There are no phase, package, section, or other location markers that would distinguish them as separate works. The evidence is complete and meets the rule's criteria.
