MANILA – Football superstar David Beckham arrived in Tacloban on Thursday to visit the survivors of Super Typhoon Yolanda.


The recently retired player arrived in Cebu at around 11 a.m. and then left for Tacloban on board a Dornier 228 plane with registry UNO 117H along with seven other people.


Beckham is visiting Tacloban with the United Nations International Emergency Children’s Fund (UNICEF). He arrived at the Tacloban Convention Center around 1:40 p.m.


Beckham and his wife, Victoria, also raised funds for Yolanda victims last November by selling off some their designer outfits.


It is the second time that Beckham has visited the Philippines. He and his former team, the Los Angeles Galaxy, played an exhibition match against the Philippine Azkals in December 2011.
