"The names Aghon, Enteng, Julian, Kristine, Leon, Nika, Ofel and Pepito will be removed from the list of domestic names used by the agency for tropical cyclones occurring within the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR)," PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel Servando announced during a press conference on Feb. 17.

Due to this decision, 2024 became the year with the highest number of decommissioned names since the current system was implemented in 2001.
