When “Kanor” was suddenly dropped from the rolls and “Karding” made it to the list, the procedure of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PAGASA) in naming typhoons naturally took the limelight.

According to Venus Valdemoro, DOST-PAGASA’s information officer, the names used this year for typhoons were actually names that had been used four years ago. She said that the country’s weather bureau has been recycling typhoon names for the past few years. “Prior to this (“Kanor” event), we already have lists of typhoon names which we will use again after four years,” explains Valdemoro.
