This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.
Indicator: contract 22JA0023 lists a cost of ₱19.60M, 0.40% above its Approved Budget for the Contract of ₱19.52M. Under RA 9184, awards normally may not exceed the ABC. This may be due to a data entry error or a late adjustment to the ABC that was not reflected in the records.
