Alicia Keys visits refugees

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — American singer Alicia Keys visited a Philippine air force base yesterday to bring cheer to hundreds of evacuees from eastern provinces wracked by Typhoon Haiyan.

The Grammy-winning singer distributed crayons and colouring books to children at the Villamor Air Base grandstand, where evacuees from eastern Leyte and Samar provinces arrive via C-130 planes.

Social Welfare Department officer Jane Abello says Keys stayed for about half an hour to chat with evacuees.
