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 22AI0061 and 22AI0066 have near-identical descriptions about 1378 m apart (funding year 2022; ₱29.37M, ₱29.16M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that these are two segments of the same river protection project, each covering a different stretch.

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 the Banila River and Don Justo Abalos in Umingan, Pangasinan, and are funded in the same year with the same contractor. The only additional marker is 'Diket' in the second title, but it is not clearly a distinct phase, section, or barangay, and both titles overlap in location. The distance (1378 m) is above the strict threshold, but the titles' overlap and lack of clear distinguishing markers make this worth publishing for public review.
