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 23AD0069 and 23AD0074 have near-identical descriptions about 85 m apart (funding year 2023; ₱9.60M, ₱9.89M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible these are two segments of a larger project that were bid out separately.
Only contractors and government agencies named in public procurement records are shown. Private individuals are not named.
