During the season PAGASA used its own naming scheme for the 21 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 had been last used during 2015 and are scheduled to be used again during 2023. The names Liwayway, Nimfa, Perla and Sarah were used for the first time after the names Lando, Nona, Pedring and Sendong were retired.
