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 24CF0021 and 24CF0092 have near-identical descriptions at the same coordinates (funding year 2024; ₱144.75M, ₱70.93M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. The two contracts may cover adjacent or sequential works, or one may be an extension of the other to include additional structures or barangays.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.80

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

Both projects are at identical coordinates, in the same funding year, and their titles are highly similar, both referring to flood-related structures along the Peñaranda River in Gapan City. The only differences are that one title mentions 'Flood Mitigation Structure' at Barangay San Vicente, while the other mentions 'Flood Control Structure including Road Dike' at Barangays San Vicente-San Lorenzo. There are no phase, package, or section markers, and the overlap in location (San Vicente) and scope (flood control/mitigation) is substantial. The addition of San Lorenzo and the road dike in the second title could indicate an extension or a related but not fully distinct project, but the overlap is significant enough to warrant public attention.
