December Award Spike
At least half of an office's yearly PhilGEPS award value was awarded in December, at least twice its usual December share.
This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.
Indicator: 66.1% of EASTERN VISAYAS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER - DOH's 2017 PhilGEPS award value (₱727.15M of ₱1.10B) was awarded in December, versus a median of 6.1% in its other 6 years. This spike may be due to delayed procurement processes or the timing of budget releases, which often result in many awards being finalized at year-end.

Possible Innocent Explanations
- Year-end awarding is common in the Philippine budget cycle (late releases, obligating before appropriations lapse); this flags only offices far above their own norm.
- This spike may be due to delayed procurement processes or the timing of budget releases, which often result in many awards being finalized at year-end.
