An 11-year-old boy miraculously survived a massive landslide in the Philippines by taking shelter in a refrigerator for a whole day. According to the New York Post, the boy, named CJ Jasme, had been at home with his family when  tropical storm Megi triggered a mud landslide that buried their house in Baybay City on Friday.</p>

A rescue team found Jasme lying inside the broken refrigerator as they conducted a rescue operation in the wake of tropical storm Megi.</p>
<p>
The boy had jumped into the refrigerator at his home when he saw the landslide approaching and then spent 20 hours inside the appliance to shelter himself from the storm.</p>
<p>
The rescue team finally spotted the refrigerator on a riverbank.</p>
<p>
According to the Post, police officer Jonas Etis informed that the rescue crew then evacuated Jasme. They hoisted the broken appliance out of the mud like a coffin and then transferred the 11-year-old into a makeshift stretcher. The team said that the first words the child spoke to them were, “I'm hungry”.</p>

Jasme was conscious and suffered only a broken leg during the ordeal. However, his mother and younger sibling are still missing, while his father died in another landslide that hit his house a day before.</p>
