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 23HN0088 have near-identical descriptions about 43 m apart (funding year 2023; ₱96.50M, ₱8.07M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that one contract covers a longer stretch of river, while the other is for a specific segment within Barangay Danglag.

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 and refer to the same river and barangay, with one title ('Barangay Danglag to Barangay Polog') possibly encompassing the other ('Barangay Danglag'). There are no phase, package, or section markers, and the only difference is the inclusion of 'to Barangay Polog' in the first title, which could indicate an overlapping or extended scope. Both projects are in the same municipality, funded in the same year, and are only 43 meters apart. This fits the criteria for a potentially duplicate or overlapping project worth public attention.
