The name Malakas (Tagalog: [mɐlɐˈkas], mah-lə-KAHS) has been used for four tropical cyclones in the western north Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by the Philippines and is a Filipino word meaning 'strong' or 'powerful'.
Due to its profane Greek slang, the name Malakas was announced to be retired and will no longer be used. In 2024, the name was replaced by Amuyao (a mountain in Mountain Province). [1] [2]
