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 22CI0057 and 22CI0058 have near-identical descriptions at the same coordinates (funding year 2022; ₱23.75M, ₱24.30M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the two contracts cover adjacent or extended sections of riverwall, but the titles do not clearly distinguish their scopes.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

Both projects are at the exact same coordinates, funded in the same year, with highly similar titles. The only differences are that the second title specifies additional locations (Marcos Village, Sapangbalen Riverwall, and station markers), but the first title does not indicate it is limited to only Macapagal Village. There is no explicit phase/section/lot marker in either title, and the overlap in location (Macapagal Village) is substantial. This fits the guidance for publishing when one title is the other plus extra places, as there is a risk of overlapping or double-funded works.
