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 24AJ0021 and 23AJ0070 have near-identical descriptions about 138 m apart (funding years 2023, 2024; ₱49.00M, ₱13.55M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the two contracts cover different sections or phases of flood control works in the same barangay.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The titles are near-identical and refer to the same barangay (Pacuan, Malasiqui, Pangasinan), with only minor differences: one specifies 'along Agno River' and the other 'at Barangay Pacuan.' There are no phase, package, or section markers, and the distinguishing words do not clearly indicate different works. The projects are about 138 meters apart and funded in consecutive years, which fits the rule's intent to flag possible duplicate or overlapping works. All necessary records and URLs are present.
