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 23CI0061 and 23CI0149 have near-identical descriptions at the same coordinates (funding year 2023; ₱69.22M, ₱4.85M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the smaller contract covers a specific segment or urgent repair within the larger project area.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

Both projects have identical coordinates and near-identical titles, with the second title being a subset of the first. There are no distinguishing markers such as different phases, sections, or barangays that would indicate they are separate works. The only difference is that the first title is more detailed, but both refer to slope protection in San Agustin, Magalang, Pampanga. This fits the rule's criteria for a potentially duplicate or overlapping project.
