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 24CF0002 and 25CF0012 have near-identical descriptions about 399 m apart (funding years 2024, 2025; ₱86.85M, ₱95.05M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second project is a continuation or extension of the first.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.98

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two projects have identical titles with no distinguishing markers (no phase, package, section, or different place names), are located within 399 meters of each other, and are funded in consecutive years. This fits the rule's criteria for a potentially duplicate or overlapping project. Innocent explanations (such as a continuation or extension of works) are plausible but do not negate the public value of showing the indicator.
