MANILA, Philippines — Presidential aspirants on Monday called on the national government to ramp up support for families displaced in the aftermath of the most destructive typhoon to hit the country after Yolanda in 2013. 

 

Vice President Leni Robredo, who personally visited typhoon-hit areas over the weekend, called for support for Filipinos living in the Dinagat Islands where food and water supplies starting to dwindle. The province remains without electricity and other means of communication. 

 

"Dinagat Islands badly need our help," she said in Filipino. "The entire region still has no access to basic necessities [and residents are] running out of food."
