"Survivors on high country which had not been inundated can be found in Filipino narratives,"

Sir Terry Pratchett's novel Nation - have to wonder if that was the basis...

"When a giant wave destroys his village, Mau is the only one left. Daphne—a traveler from the other side of the globe—is the sole survivor of a shipwreck. Separated by language and customs, the two are united by catastrophe. Slowly, they are joined by other refugees. And as they struggle to protect the small band, Mau and Daphne defy ancestral spirits, challenge death himself, and uncover a long-hidden secret that literally turns the world upside down."
