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 24CD0029 and 23CD0083 have near-identical descriptions about 85 m apart (funding years 2023, 2024; ₱4.95M, ₱4.88M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second project is a continuation or an additional component (such as slope protection) of the first project.

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 'Flood Control Structure' in Barangay/Brgy. Bahay Pare, Meycauayan City, Bulacan, and are only 85 meters apart. The only differences in the titles are the inclusion of 'Slope Protection' in one and the use of 'Barangay' vs 'Brgy.', which are not distinguishing markers per the rule. There are no phase, package, section, or site markers that would indicate these are distinct works. The evidence is complete and meets the rule's criteria for publishing.
