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 24CC0396 and 24CC0395 have near-identical descriptions about 213 m apart (funding year 2024; ₱77.20M, ₱77.20M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. One project may specifically cover Purok 2, while the other could be a broader or overlapping section.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.85

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

The two project titles are nearly identical, with the only difference being that one specifies '(Purok 2)' while the other does not. According to the rule guidance, if one title has a phase/package/area marker and the other has none, this should be published as a possible unlabelled twin. Both projects are in the same section, municipality, and funding year, with very similar costs and overlapping timeframes. The evidence is complete and the public can check the records.
