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 24HF0008 and 23HF0021 have near-identical descriptions about 138 m apart (funding years 2023, 2024; ₱19.50M, ₱19.40M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second contract is a continuation or expansion of the previous year's work at the same site.
Only contractors and government agencies named in public procurement records are shown. Private individuals are not named.
