State weather bureau PAGASA has changed Bagyong Kanor into Karding in its 2014 list of names for tropical cyclones in the Philippines.
The weather agency said it removed Kanor due to the negative feedback from the public, ABS-CBN News reports.
The name is associated to Mang Kanor, an online moniker given to 54-year-old Muntinlupa resident Joel Lito Tiongson who rose to infamy for being involved in a 2009 sex video scandal with a teenage girl named Jill Rose Mendoza, then 15.
