I am posting below the Article translated by Google Translate from Turkish to English for reference:

It was stated that Turkey would export T129 ATAK helicopters to the Philippines after the permission of the USA.
It was stated that Turkey would export T129 ATAK helicopters to the Philippines after the permission of the USA.
Turkish Aerospace Industry (TUSAŞ) General Manager Prof. Dr. Temel Kotil made statements on the subject.
Kotil emphasized that the serial production of the ATAK helicopter continues, and made important statements regarding the export of the helicopter.
TUSAŞ General Manager Kotil stated that permission has been obtained from the USA for ATAK exports to the Philippines and that they will start the production of T129s to be exported to the Philippines in the coming months. Kotil stated that the US has not yet granted permission to export to Pakistan.
In the T129 Attack helicopter, 2 units of 1014 kW LHTEC-CTS800-400A, developed in partnership with Rolls- Royce and Honeywell, were used as the engine. It has been expressed for some time that the engine, developed in partnership with the UK-based Rolls- Royce and the US-based Honeywell, had problems in the supply for export.
In 2020, it was reported that the Philippines gave up purchasing ATAK due to the permit problem.“
