If the Philippine debt is repaid, you'll have established the new Silicon Valley, complete with a talent pool dominated by software engineers and a large number of blockchain and AI experts.

A suggestion for Apple.

1. Apple is worth $2.44 trillion USD; pay off the whole $240 billion USD debt owed by the Philippines.

2. Establish Apple HQ facilities in the Philippines and employ the vast majority of the country's talented software engineers there.

3. Take advantage of the cheap labour, low costs, and high standard of living to ride the wave of unending profit.

This is how you turn things around and switch the lightbulb.

The real reason why Mirabilis ICQ become unpopular.

On the height of their popularity, they started naming their products appending either "devil" and "demon" to their products.

Of course, most people who are conservatives back then like parents, aunts, 99% of the their users, basically other than "you" the power users didn't like the new naming.

So they move-on to Yahoo Messenger and never looked back.

Moral: Don't name your popular product like how Mirabilis ICQ does it back in the late 90s.
