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 23HN0092 and 22HN0001 have near-identical descriptions about 1222 m apart (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱96.50M, ₱96.50M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second project is a continuation or extension of the first, covering an additional area.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are near-identical, both refer to flood control structures along the Cansaga River in Barangay Danglag, Consolacion, Cebu, and are funded in consecutive years with the same contract amount. The only difference is that one title extends the location to Barangay Polog, while the other is limited to Barangay Danglag. Since the second project’s title is fully contained within the first, and there are no phase/package/section markers or other distinguishing markers, this fits the guidance for publishing as a possible duplicate or overlapping scope. The distance between the coordinates (1222 m) is above the strict threshold, but the titles suggest possible overlap or continuation without clear labeling.
