3rd Quake Survivor Found in Hotel Ruins
Rescuers pulled a 27-year-old cook from the ruins of a hotel in this northern mountain resort today, 14 days after the building collapsed in a 7.7 earthquake.
A total of three survivors have now been rescued from the ruins of the Hyatt Terraces Hotel since Friday.
Pedrito Dy told a Manila radio station that he was without food during his ordeal but drank his own urine to survive.
Dy, who worked at the hotel as a gym instructor, was suffering from dehydration but doctors said that he seemed healthy otherwise.
Dy said he was among 12 people trapped in the basement of the hotel wing, but all the others died.
