This might help with combs.

Box full of straw to huddle in might help the little one. Is she with her mum or well accepted by flock so she can huddle up with them?

It doesn't get cold in the Philippines. I would suspect a heart defect with a very large combed bird if the comb was turning blue.

I had babies on the coop at 2 weeks old without a mum. I made them a wool hen (it was summer).

It trapps the air so they only have a small area to heat up. Cardboard box full of straw will do the same. She should cope well if fully feathered.
Not got much experience with very cold, we suffer from humidity. Everyone seems to say if you can keep the air dry and still at roost hight they will do even if very cold.

If it suddenly drops from say 30°C to under 25°C, I would not be so quick to disregard cold, in which case he won't need any support/help of any kind. It could be a defect as well

Wow. That's very warm. I consider it too hot for me personally. I hate weather that is warmer than 75F (23.9C).

I've had 2 female white Leghorns out in -15F (-26C) and their combs remained pink (it was winter so all the girls combs had turned pink and shrunk).
