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 23HD0031 and 22HD0024 have near-identical descriptions about 88 m apart (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱67.55M, ₱57.90M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second contract is a continuation or extension of the first, but the title does not specify this.

How this was checked

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The only distinguishing marker is the presence of a station marker (Sta. 000+000 - Sta. 000+260) in one title and not in the other. Per rule guidance, if one title has a phase/station marker and the other does not, this is a classic 'unlabelled twin' case and should be published. The packet contains all necessary record IDs and URLs for public checking.
