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 24CB0071 and 24CB0065 have near-identical descriptions about 152 m apart (funding year 2024; ₱6.70M, ₱31.84M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that one project covers the area near the bridge while the other covers a different section of the river in the same barangay.

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 and refer to the same river and city, funded in the same year, and are only 152 meters apart. The only differences in the titles are the mention of 'Camacho-Tenejero Bridge' in one and 'Barangay Tenejero' in the other, but both are within the same barangay and refer to the same river. There are no phase, package, or section markers, and the distinguishing words are not sufficient to confirm these are distinct works. Innocent explanations (e.g., one project is for the bridge area, the other for a different section of the river in the same barangay) are plausible but do not rule out possible overlap.
