03:20by mitigation or adaptation measures.
03:23COP29 President Mukhtar Babayev says the fund will be able to flow by 2025.
03:28Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signed a law last August to allow the board
03:32to operate in the Philippines.
03:34The board is composed of 12 representatives from developed countries and another 14 from
03:38developing nations.

03:51pesos to its third-quarter earnings.
03:53Compose Coffee was acquired by Tony Tan Kak-Tiong-led JFC last July for 329 billion Korean won,

04:15Its flagship product, Americano Iced Coffee, sells for 1,500 Korean won, or around 62 pesos.
04:22Aside from the price point, the rise of Compose Coffee is attributed to endorser V of Korean
04:27boy band BTS.
04:28Fashion magazine L'Officiel says the choice of V led to more than 2 million new users
04:32on Compose Coffee's app.
04:36After a rough patch, the Philippines' top skateboarder completes a triumphant comeback.
