Colin Bembridge, 61, of Grimsby, is believed to have been staying with Maybelle Go, 35, and their daughter, Victoria, in a beach hut.
Mr Bembridge’s daughter from a previous relationship, Joanne, posted a plea on Facebook for anyone with information on their whereabouts to get in touch with her. “My Dad, Maybelle and Victoria are still missing - please speak to everyone you know to help find them,” she wrote. “They were last seen in a house on BayBay, San Jose, Tacloban, Phillipines - we think near to the Mayors building.”
