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 22PA0337 and 21PA0240 have near-identical descriptions about 1053 m apart (funding year 2022; ₱95.24M, ₱49.00M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. The two projects may cover different stretches or types of flood control works within the same barangay.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

Both project titles refer to 'Construction of Flood Control' in Barangay Mudeng, La Paz, Abra, with only minor differences: one mentions 'Structure' and the other 'Soot' (possibly a river or local feature). There are no phase, package, section, or other distinguishing markers, and both are in the same barangay and municipality, funded in the same year. The distance between them (1053 m) is above the strict threshold, but the titles are highly similar and refer to the same barangay, so the indicator is worth publishing for transparency.
