At least 13 people have been killed in Philippine floods

An 11-year-old boy named CJ Jasme miraculously escaped an extremely dangerous landslide in the Baybay area of the Philippines by staying in a refrigerator for a whole day.

A video went viral of his unusual life preserver when the authorities found him, and called it nothing less than a miracle, as reported by the New York Post.

Jasme was with his family when the landslide struck, generated by the tropical storm Megi, which led to the deaths of hundreds of people. As Jasme saw the mudslide approach, the 11-year-old jumped into the family refrigerator.

He then hunkered down inside the appliance for nearly 20 hours to protect himself from the storm. The moment authorities found the refrigerator, they immediately sent out an SOS because another landslide was approaching.

The boy, who was thankfully awake, just suffered a broken leg as a result of this event. He was first given the required assistance and then underwent surgery to repair his broken leg.

As per the authorities, the boy is currently in stable condition, though his family was unlucky as his mother and younger siblings are still missing, and his father died in another landslide the day before his house was destroyed.

His older sibling is thought to have missed this incident.

11-year-old boy survives landslide by staying inside fridge for 20 hours in Philippines

Four people were killed in landslides and thousands of others evacuated from their homes after a storm swept through the central Philippine islands on Saturday, officials said.

Three members of a family were buried in a landslide in Legazpi City southeast of Manila while a woman was crushed by another landslide in Bulan town as heavy rains brought by the storm loosened the earth, the government's office of civil defence said.

Almost 12,000 people were also evacuated from their homes in the Bicol region after the low pressure area, locally named "Usman", hit the eastern side of the country on Saturday, the office said.

The weather disturbance, packing maximum winds of 65 kilometres (40 miles) per hour, was charted as moving west across the central islands at 10 kilometres per hour and was expected to be over the South China Sea by Sunday, the government weather station said.

Although Usman's winds were not too powerful, it still brought heavy rains that caused landslides and flooding in areas it traversed, the civil defence office said.

An average of 20 typhoons and storms lash the Philippines each year, killing hundreds of people.

The country's deadliest storm on record is Super Typhoon Haiyan, which left more than 7,350 people dead or missing across the central Philippines in November 2013.

Storm sweeps through central Philippines; 4 killed, over 12,000 evacuated

A boy drowned and tens of thousands were driven from their homes by floods as Tropical Storm Kai-Tak pounded the eastern Philippines on Saturday, cutting off power and triggering landslides, officials said.

Kai-Tak, packing gusts of up to 110 kilometers (62 miles) an hour, hit the country&#39;s third-largest island Samar in the afternoon and was forecast to slice across the rest of the central Philippines over the weekend, the state weather service said.

Military trucks drove through rising floodwaters on Samar and nearby Leyte island to rescue trapped residents, with more than 38,000 people now in evacuation centres, local officials said.&nbsp;

A two-year-old boy drowned in the Leyte town of Mahaplag, the civil defence office in the region said.

A spokeswoman for the national government&#39;s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council told AFP it is trying to confirm reports of two other deaths from landslides and floods.

Samar and Leyte, with a combined population of about 4.5 million, had borne the brunt of Super Typhoon Haiyan four years ago, which left more than 7,350 people dead or missing.

Bus driver Felix Villaseran, his wife, and four children hunkered down in their two-storey house in the Leyte city of Tacloban along with 11 relatives whose homes were flooded in waist-high waters from the incessant rain.

&quot;We have yet to shake off our phobia. I hope to God we don&#39;t have a repeat of that&quot;, Villaseran, who lost 39 cousins in the Haiyan onslaught, told AFP by telephone.

&quot;My missus stockpiled on groceries before the storm hit, but since we also have to feed these three other families we&#39;re now running low on food&quot;, he added.

Strong winds toppled trees and power pylons, knocking out power through the region while floods, small landslides, and rock falls blocked roads and buried some homes, local officials and witnesses said.

Farmland in the mainly rural region was also under water, while seven people were injured by landslides and flying objects, the regional civil defence office said in a report.

&quot;It was like a flashback again for residents of Tacloban city&quot;, its vice mayor Sambo Yaokasin told Manila television station ABS-CBN by telephone, referring to the Haiyan disaster.

The station broadcast images of flooded streets and corrugated iron roofing sheets flying off homes.

&quot;Nearly half the villages here are flooded&quot;, Marcelo Picardal, vice governor of Eastern Samar province told ABS-CBN in a telephone interview.

Ferry services on the two islands remain suspended due to rough seas, with three fishermen also missing despite government warnings against sailing, it added.

The state weather service said more heavy rain was expected in the eastern Philippines in the coming hours, warning of flooding in low-lying areas and landslides in the uplands.

About 20 typhoons or weaker storms either make landfall in the Philippines or reach its waters each year, bringing annual misery and death and consigning millions of survivors to perennial poverty.
