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 24CB0071 and 24CB0065 have near-identical descriptions about 152 m apart (funding year 2024; ₱6.70M, ₱31.84M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. The two contracts may cover adjacent or overlapping sections of the river, or one may focus on the bridge area while the other covers the barangay.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.80

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are near-identical and refer to the same river and city, with only minor differences: one mentions 'Barangay Tenejero' and the other 'Camacho-Tenejero Bridge.' Neither title contains a clear phase, package, or section marker, and both are in the same funding year and municipality. The locations are only 152 meters apart, and the overlap in scope is plausible. The difference in cost may reflect different scopes or lengths, but the similarity in titles and proximity meets the criteria for publishing.
