In a Facebook post over the weekend, Carlos, who is House Speaker Martin Romualdez's chief policy adviser on security and defense concerns, seemingly challenges the government to make a bid for hosting the COP 30 in 2025.

COP stands for Conference of the Parties, which refers to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) parties. The formal, yearly meeting of the parties represent the United Nations Climate Change Conferences, or simply COP.
The first such conference or COP 1 was held in Berlin, Germany in 1985. Since then, the conference has been held in Asia only thrice--the 1997 COP 3 Kyoto, Japan; the 2002 COP 8 New Delhi, India; and the 2007 COP 13 Bali, Indonesia.
