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 23CI0061 and 23CI0068 and 23CI0109 have near-identical descriptions at the same coordinates (funding year 2023; ₱69.22M, ₱44.09M, ₱19.76M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. These may be different phases or segments of a larger flood control project, or separate contracts for maintenance and new construction in the same area.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The packet shows multiple contracts (≥3) at the exact same coordinates in the same year, with titles that are highly similar and all refer to slope protection/flood mitigation works along Quitangil/Quitanguil Creek/River in San Agustin and Sto. Niño, Magalang, Pampanga. The only distinguishing marker is 'Phase 1' in one title, but per rule guidance, if one title has a phase marker and the other does not, this is still publishable as a possible unlabelled twin. No clear section/segment/side/chainage markers distinguish the works. The evidence is complete and all record IDs and URLs are present.
