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 22OC0136 and 23OC0017 have near-identical descriptions about 55 m apart (funding years 2022, 2023; ₱48.02M, ₱66.57M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. The second project may be a continuation or extension of the first, but the first contract does not specify a phase.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.78

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The only distinguishing marker is 'Phase II' in the second title, while the first title has no phase marker. Per rule guidance, if one title has a phase marker and the other does not, this is a classic 'unlabelled twin' case and should be published. The locations are only 55 meters apart, and both titles refer to the same creek and barangay, with no other distinguishing place or structure markers.
