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 23OD0088 and 23OD0087 have near-identical descriptions about 179 m apart (funding year 2023; ₱89.75M, ₱85.27M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. These could be separate but adjacent segments or types of structures along the same creeks, procured under different contracts.

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 construction of flood control works along the same creeks and barangay, and the only differences are generic terms ('wall' vs 'structure', 'Brgy.' vs 'Barangay'), which are not distinguishing markers. Both are in the same funding year, in the same location, and the distance is only 179 meters. There are no phase, package, section, or site markers that would indicate these are distinct works.
