- Typhoon Vongfong (2020) (T2001, 01W, Ambo) – an early-season Category 3 typhoon that hit the Philippines, causing over ₱1 billion damage
The name Vongfong was retired after the 2020 typhoon season; it was later replaced by Penha in the spring of 2022, and was contributed by Macao which was named after Our Lady of Penha Chapel.
