The petition on Change.org to name destructive typhoons after "corrupt politicians and grafters" had gathered more than 1,300 signatures as of 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.
"Sign up now! Let this be a constant reminder of how our hard-earned money has been stolen or misspent by corrupt politicians," said Ismael Tomelden, who started the petition.
While Tolemden did not suggest a list of names of the supposed corrupt politicians, he said the damage caused by their corruption is "so great."
"The devastation they cause is so great... Mother Nature can't even compete with them for the destruction of life and property," he said.
He added the petition should be "a constant reminder of how our hard-earned money has been stolen or misspent by corrupt politicians."
