During the season PAGASA used its own naming scheme for the 16 tropical cyclones, that either developed within or moved into their self-defined area of responsibility.The names were taken from a list of names, that was last used during 2016 and are scheduled to be used again during 2024. This is the same list used in 2016 except for Kristine, Leon, and Nika, which replaced Karen, Lawin, and Nina.

Retirement[]

After the season, the Typhoon Committee retired these names due to their impact: Kammuri, Haishen, and Dolphin. In February 2022, the names Okami, Ewenki, and Tsuen for future use.

The PAGASA chose to retire the names Ambo, Kristine, and Marce, as they had caused over ₱1 billion in damages. They were replaced with Ashwin, Kimberly, and Miguel for 2024.
