That temp is just fine for a power outage. Few weeks may be a little worrisome, but during the day you can get him in the sun and outside

Also, if it starts going a long time without heat, you could put him in the kitchen in a box when you are baking. Put it next to the stove oven, but not on the stove, on the floor, the sides usually throw off heat.

What are the room temperature at this time of the year?? In which part of Philippines are you? Can that be below 25 C?? If not below 25 C I will not worry too much. Get him enough sun in the day time like Kelly suggested will work well also. Hope you get your power back soon.

For now keep dry, it can survive colder temps, easier than being wet.
