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 23GO0024 and 23GO0032 have near-identical descriptions about 48 m apart (funding year 2023; ₱19.30M, ₱18.62M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that one contract covers additional rehabilitation or improvement works alongside new construction, or that the projects cover adjacent segments of the same street.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are nearly identical, both refer to the same street and city, and are only 48 meters apart. The only difference in the titles is the inclusion of 'Rehabilitation/Improvement' in one, which does not constitute a distinguishing marker such as a phase, section, or different location. Both projects are in the same funding year and municipality, and there are no distinguishing markers or place names that would indicate they are separate works. This fits the criteria for publishing under rule C3.
