This trop dep was initially named as Nonoy by Pagasa. Bakit kaya pinalitan, naging Nona?

**Monseratto** · December 12th, 2015 06:17 PM

Bad time to be named Nonoy with Yolanda still fresh ..hehehe.

Tropical storm enters PAR, named 'Nona' instead of 'Nonoy'

Saturday, December 12, 2015

MANILA -- The tropical depression outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) has intensified into tropical storm and has been named “Nona” as it enters PAR on Saturday morning, the state weather bureau said.

Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) weather forecaster Glaiza Escullar said "Nona", with international name "Melor", entered PAR at 4 a.m. Saturday, the 14th tropical cyclone to affect the country this year.

Escullar explained the tropical storm should have been "Nonoy" but was later on changed to "Nona" due to its landfalling characteristics and in respect to President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III's name.
