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 23GK0005 and 24GK0013 have near-identical descriptions at the same coordinates (funding years 2023, 2024; ₱86.85M, ₱96.50M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second contract is a continuation or expansion of the previous year's project at the same location.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two contracts have near-identical titles, identical coordinates, and the same contractor, with only minor wording differences ('Abut.' vs 'Abutment', 'along' vs 'of'). There are no distinguishing markers such as different phases, sections, or locations. This fits the rule's publish criteria for possible duplicate or overlapping works at the same site in different years.
