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 22DQ0010 and 22DQ0008 have near-identical descriptions about 18 m apart (funding year 2022; ₱96.49M, ₱86.83M). Worth checking whether they cover the same works. It is possible that the two contracts represent different phases of a larger project, but one was not clearly labelled as such.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.80

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4.1

Checked: October 22, 2026

Although one title includes 'Phase II' and the other does not, the guidance specifies to publish when the only difference is a phase marker and the other title is unlabelled. Both projects are at the same barangay, river, and municipality, funded in the same year, by the same contractor, and are only 18 meters apart. This fits the 'unlabelled twin' scenario, which is worth public attention.
