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 24KA0123 and 24KA0093 have near-identical descriptions about 320 m apart (funding year 2024; ₱96.50M, ₱96.50M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that these are two phases of a larger project, but only one was explicitly labeled as a package.

How this was checked

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

Although 'Package 2' is a distinguishing marker in the first title, the second title lacks any phase/package marker, making this a classic 'unlabelled twin' scenario. Both projects are in the same barangay, have the same contractor, same funding year, and identical costs, with only 320 meters between them. The only difference is the explicit package label in one title, which per guidance should be published as a possible duplicate or continuation.
