The Philippines was expected to receive more aid from Japan for areas devastated by Typhoon Haiyan when President Benigno Aquino visits later this week, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said Monday, according to dpa. Aquino is scheduled to travel to Tokyo on Thursday. He and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will witness the "exchange of notes" on a 100-million-dollar post-disaster loan, said spokesman Raul Hernandez. Haiyan slammed into the Philippines on November 8 as the world's strongest typhoon to make landfall. It killed 5,924 people and left 1,779 missing, the national disaster relief agency said Monday. Some 4 million people were displaced and more than 27,000 injured, the agency added.
