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 22MF0018 and 22MF0056 have near-identical descriptions about 300 m apart (funding year 2022; ₱37.70M, ₱49.40M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible these are adjacent or sequential segments of the same river section, but the titles do not clearly distinguish them.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are near-identical, both refer to the same river section and municipality, and there are no distinguishing markers such as different phases, packages, stations, or barangays. The only differences are generic words ('mitigation' vs 'control', 'along'), which do not indicate different works. Both are funded in the same year and are about 300 meters apart, which is close enough to plausibly be the same or overlapping works. The evidence is complete and checkable.
