Ka Ernie died this morning at the age of 65. He was declared dead on arrival at 9:30 am at Medical Center Muntinlupa. Click here for details.
He will be remembered as “the walking encyclopedia,” the famous weather reporter of ABS-CBN and host of the TV show and radio program Knowledge Power.
It’s really sad because we lost an icon for science and educational TV program. His brilliance and charistmatic personality is one of a kind. I think it’s very hard to replace the position he had embodied in the media because no one has ever followed his footsteps yet. It will take some time before somebody eventually takes the TV personality Ernie Baron had emptied.
His place is just one ride away from my house so we are technically “far neighbor”. (His 5 storey mansion is one of the most prominent building near our vicinity so we all know it’s Ernie Baron’s). Condolence to his family and friends.
