An era ended when Mang Tani retired. In his place are four young weather presenters, the most seasoned of whom is Amor Larrosa. <br /><br />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). <br /><br />An occasional campus speaker, Amor explains climate change to listeners in layman’s terms. <br /><br />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.
