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 23GA0103 and 24GA0133 have near-identical descriptions about 43 m apart (funding years 2023, 2024; ₱29.40M, ₱28.95M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the second contract is a continuation or extension of the previous year's project.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.95

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are near-identical, both refer to the same river and barangay, and are only 43 meters apart. There are no distinguishing markers such as phase, package, or different locations. The only differences are minor wording ('Flood Control' and 'Barangay' vs 'Brgy'), which are not distinguishing per the rules. The funding years are consecutive, which could indicate a continuation or repeat funding for the same or overlapping works. All required records and URLs are present.
