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 24GH0077 and 23GH0048 have near-identical descriptions about 217 m apart (funding years 2023, 2024; ₱29.40M, ₱86.46M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second project is a continuation or expansion of the first, or that the area required additional flood protection works in consecutive years.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are nearly identical, both referring to the construction of a flood control/mitigation structure in the same barangay and municipality, with no distinguishing markers such as phase, package, section, or different sites. The only difference in the titles is 'control' vs 'mitigation', which are often used interchangeably in DPWH project naming and do not indicate different works. The projects are about 217 meters apart, which is close enough to plausibly refer to the same or overlapping works, especially since both are in Barangay Poblacion Ilawod. The funding years are consecutive (2023, 2024), which could indicate either a continuation or a possible double funding. All required record details are present.
