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 22GA0034 and 23GA0106 have near-identical descriptions at the same coordinates (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱49.00M, ₱49.00M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second project is a continuation or expansion of the first, or that additional funding was needed for the same site.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two projects have near-identical titles, identical coordinates, and no distinguishing markers such as phase, package, section, or different place names. The only difference in the titles is the addition of 'Flood Control' in the second, which does not specify a different scope or location. Both are at Barangay Mobo, Kalibo, Aklan, along the Aklan River, funded in consecutive years, and by the same contractor. This fits the rule's criteria for a potentially duplicate or overlapping project.
