There is a Report from South Korea that the Philippine Army (PA) is considering the use of MD-500 Defender and UH-1H Huey Helicopters that South Korea has retired. These will likely be refurbished before use, just like the used AH-1 Cobra Helicopters that Jordan donated to the Philippine Air Force (PAF).
The Author of the Article though says that this is currently under review and not final yet. I am posting below the English Translation of the Article by Google Translate:

The Philippine Army is considering introducing an MD-500 Defender helicopter that will be retired from the Korean Army.
But, shall we suggest this to the Korean side yet? It is said that it is under review, not a confirmed issue.
When the Philippine Army introduces the MD-500 Defender helicopter, it is intended to be used as a multi-purpose helicopter such as scout, attack, and air ambulance.
In addition, the Philippine Army is said to be promoting the introduction of additional UH-1H Huey helicopters as well as the MD-500 Defender.
Previously, I also used a UH-1H helicopter retired from foreign forces during a fierce battle with IS in Marawi.
I posted a post saying that it was introduced here, and after that, I was weighing with Surion and UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters in Korea.
There was also news that the UH-60 helicopter was selected.
But now the Philippine Army is pushing for the introduction of additional UH-1H.
Also, among the countries that the Philippines has listed on the candidate list for UH-1H introduction, Korea is also included.
Since UH-1H is being retired from Korea, it will be possible for the Philippines to introduce UH-1H retired from our military.
