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 22CH0002 and 22CH0001 have near-identical descriptions about 3018 m apart (funding year 2022; ₱96.14M, ₱96.20M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. One project may be a continuation or a second phase of the other, but the earlier contract does not specify a phase.

How this was checked

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The only distinguishing marker is 'Phase II' in one title, while the other has no phase or package marker. Per rule guidance, this is a classic 'unlabelled twin' case and should be published. Both projects are in the same municipality, have near-identical titles, and are funded in the same year, with similar costs and scope. Innocent explanation is plausible but does not block publishing.
