An era ended when Mang Tani retired. In his place are four young weather presenters, the most seasoned of whom is Amor Larrosa.

She talks to Howie Severino about succeeding an industry icon, the life-and-death responsibility of forecasting typhoons, and how supertyphoon Yolanda changed weather communications (there’s now a signal no. 5).

An occasional campus speaker, Amor explains climate change to listeners in layman’s terms.

And will she one day be known as Aling Amor? Still a bit too young for the moniker, she’s focused on making the science of weather accessible to ordinary people. So whatever she’s eventually called, it will be earned.
