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 22MG0021 and 22MG0034 have near-identical descriptions about 438 m apart (funding year 2022; ₱29.40M, ₱49.00M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. These could be different types of flood mitigation structures built along the same creek.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.80

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two projects have near-identical titles, are both in the same municipality, and are only 438 meters apart. The only differences in the titles are 'Flood Control' vs 'Bank Protection', which are closely related types of flood mitigation works and do not clearly indicate distinct phases, packages, or locations. There are no distinguishing markers such as phase, package, section, or different barangays/sitios. Both are for Bolok Creek in Koronadal City, funded in the same year. Innocent explanations are possible (e.g., different types of structures along the same creek), but the overlap is sufficient to warrant public attention.
