PAGASA issued the local names for all tropical cyclones that develop within or enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
The weather bureau uses four sets of local names on a rotating basis. Each set contains 25 names, arranged alphabetically.
In the event that the number of tropical cyclones in a year exceeds 25, an auxiliary set with 10 names is assigned to extend the regular list.
Listed below are the regular and auxiliary sets of names designated for this year:

The names listed above are part of Set I, which will also be used in the years 2029, 2033, 2037, and so on.
Moreover, the name of a tropical cyclone is removed from the list if it results in 300 or more fatalities or incurs damages of at least P1 billion to agriculture and infrastructure. It is then replaced with a new name beginning with the same letter.
