This lighthearted take on the consecutive typhoon names gained traction on social media, prompting Falcon to release an official statement through his official Facebook page. He acknowledged the unexpected connection between his name and the storms, emphasizing his intention to bring a positive twist to the situation.

The statement read: "Bagama't ang mga bagyo ay nagdulot ng malaking pinsala at abala sa marami, umaasa ako na ang aking mga kapwa Pilipino ay makatagpo ng kaaliwan sa katotohanan na kahit sa mahirap na panahon, maaari pa rin tayong makahanap ng katatawanan at pagkakaisa", says in Tagalog dialect.

Falcon's statement quickly garnered attention, with various news outlets and severally disclosed social media pages, sharing his unique perspective. The engaging post received positive feedback from netizens, who appreciated his ability to find humor amidst challenging circumstances.

In light of his claim, meteorologists and weather enthusiasts have chimed in, suggesting that the consecutive typhoon names were indeed a mere coincidence.

The names are determined in advance and follow a specific sequence.

While the naming of typhoons follows a predetermined pattern, Falcon's light-hearted take on the situation has brought a refreshing perspective to the recent natural disasters affecting the Philippines. As a well-known actor and politician, Falcon's ability to find humor and unity during difficult times resonates with many Filipinos.
