Contractor Concentration (Flood Control)

A contractor holds a very large share of flood-control contract value in a district or province.

This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.

Indicator: JAIME B CHING ENT received 38.3% (₱460.40M of ₱1.20B) of recorded flood-control contract value in Negros Occidental 3rd District Engineering Office across 16 contracts and 8 contractors, at or above the 25% share threshold (HHI 0.251). This may be due to the contractor's strong track record or specialization in flood-control projects in the area.
