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 22CI0057 and 22CI0058 and 22CI0119 have near-identical descriptions at the same coordinates (funding year 2022; ₱23.75M, ₱24.30M, ₱24.28M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. These may be sequential or adjacent segments of riverwall construction, but the first contract's title does not specify the segment.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.70

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

All three contracts are at identical coordinates, have overlapping titles, and are in the same funding year with the same contractor. While two titles specify station markers and mention both Macapagal Village and Marcos Village, the first title only mentions Macapagal Village and omits station markers. However, the absence of a phase/section/station marker in the first title means it could be an unlabelled twin or a duplicate. The overlap in location and scope, with no clear distinguishing marker in the first title, meets the criteria for publishing.
