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 22MF0014 and 23MF0014 have near-identical descriptions about 346 m apart (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱47.68M, ₱48.84M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second project is a continuation or expansion of the first, or covers additional works in the same area.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are near-identical, both refer to the same section (Panas-Bambad Section) of the Ala River in Isulan, Sultan Kudarat, and are only 346 meters apart. The only word difference is 'Basin' in the second title, which does not clearly distinguish a different work or location. There are no phase, package, section, or barangay markers that would indicate these are distinct works. The evidence is complete and meets the rule's criteria for publishing.
