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 22MF0011 and 24MF0045 have near-identical descriptions about 7 m apart (funding years 2022, 2024; ₱49.00M, ₱47.94M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second project is a legitimate extension or continuation of the first, covering a longer section of the river.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are near-identical and refer to the same river and municipality, with only a minor difference: the second title adds 'Dansuli' to the section name, while the first is limited to 'Impao Section.' There are no explicit phase, package, or section markers that would clearly distinguish them as separate works, and the locations are only 7 meters apart. The overlap in scope (Impao vs Impao-Dansuli) suggests possible double funding or an unlabelled continuation, which fits the rule's publish criteria.
