Apart from the Bell UH-1H helicopter, philippines is also interested in the SoKor MD500 helicopter!

The Ministry of National Defense (DND) on Friday stated its intention to acquire excess Bell UH-1H and McDonnell Douglas helicopters from South Korea.
Defense Minister Delfin Lorenzana conveyed this intention in a letter of congratulations to the newly appointed South Korean Defense Minister, Suh Wook.
He added, DND plans to conduct a Joint Venture Inspection in the fourth quarter of this year.
The Philippine Air Force (PAF) is known to operate a number of UH-IH and MD-500 helicopters in its fleet.
South Korea is known to have stopped these helicopters from military service earlier this year.
The PAF uses the UH-1H primarily for cargo and personnel transport and disaster relief missions, while variants or models of the MD-500 in its inventory are used for ground attack or close air support attacks.
The JVI will be conducted following strict biosafety protocols amid ongoing global health concerns, by a team consisting of representatives from the DND and the Armed Forces of the Philippines, DND spokesman Arsenio Andolong said in a message.
He added that the South Korean UH-1H and MD500 helicopter acquisition project is still in the exploration stage, with details not yet finalized including the timetable and the number of rotary-wing aircraft to be acquired.

Both were originally offerred by S Korea as decomissioned units. UH-1Hs would be great for parts; the MD-500 might still have life in them before being stripped as parts.
