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 23FN0024 and 23FN0033 have near-identical descriptions about 247 m apart (funding year 2023; ₱72.32M, ₱77.09M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. These may be adjacent or sequential sections of riverbank protection, with one contract extending the works to include Salvacion.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.70

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The titles are near-identical and refer to the same river and barangay, with only a minor difference: 'Brgy. Fabrica Section' vs 'Brgy. Fabrica-Salvacion Section.' There is no clear phase, package, or segment marker, and the only difference is the addition of 'Salvacion' in the second title, which could indicate an extension or overlap. The distance between the projects (247 m) is above the strict threshold but still close enough to warrant public attention, especially since both are in the same funding year, have the same contractor, and are in the same municipality. Innocent explanations are possible, such as the second project being an extension or covering an adjacent section, but the overlap is significant enough to merit publication.
