Pagasa confirmed that reports of a super typhoon named Lakas hitting the Philippines are false. Lakas does not exist and is not on the list of tropical cyclone names for 2024. A social media post falsely claimed Lakas had peak wind speeds of 250 km/h, but the link provided led to an online shopping site. Pagasa also noted a low pressure area off Samar has a low chance of developing into a tropical cyclone.
