Paracel Islands incident

Vietnamese officials and media reported that Chinese naval forces mistreated Vietnamese fishermen
who tried to take shelter from the typhoon in the disputed Paracel Islands. The Chinese Navy allegedly
fired on Vietnamese fishing boats when they tried to take shelter at Tru Cau island to escape Typhoon
Ketsana and after being allowed to stay on the island for several days, they were robbed and beaten by
Chinese forces before leaving.[86] Vietnam and China have an agreement that fishermen from either
country can ride out storms in the other's territory.

Nguyen Viet Thang, chairman of the Vietnam Fishery Association, said his organization was preparing an
official protest to China over the incidents. Colonel Bui Phu Phu, vice chief of the border guard forces of
the fishermen's home province of Quảng Ngãi, confirmed the accusations and said the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs should send a protest to China.[87]

An official at the Chinese embassy in Hanoi said China had no comment on the accusations.

Retirement

Due to the damage and deaths caused by the storm, the names Ketsana and Ondoy were later retired.
The committee selected the name Champi to replace "Ketsana" on the Western Pacific basin name lists
beginning in 2011. It was first used in the 2015 season. In June 2012, the name selected by PAGASA to
replace "Ondoy" was Odette and was first used in the 2013 season.

Removal of Prisco Nilo

When President Benigno Aquino III took office in June 2010, PAGASA Chief Administrator Prisco Nilo was
fired and removed from his post on August 6.[88] The agency accused Nilo of having a supposedly fool-
proof forecast of Typhoon Ketsana as the typhoon struck over Metro Manila. Aquino adds lack of
disaster preparedness and slow installation of Doppler weather radar and other equipment, and slow
voluntary response that left the agency unmodernized.

Nilo left PAGASA after Graciano Yumul, Jr., took Nilo's vacant seat. This similar accusation also happened
on the aftermath of Typhoon Conson (Basyang) in July 2010. Nilo was in Australia for his new post as
weather forecaster of the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).
