PN is still likely to pursue the MILGEM for future corvette requirements, just keep in mind that the ship is under development. I have also seen a trend lately of the Turks revealing indigenous substitutes for a lot of the Western subsystems on MILGEM. I wouldn't doubt that PN is keeping an eye on these developments, and drawing up a plan for arming these corvettes with preferable weapon-systems.
I'm not sure if the PN will be able to get the MILGEM before 2015 or even 2019, these sort of programs take time. However the PN will definitely push for domestic production of MILGEM, and IMHO acquire 10-12 to take up an array of missions. Plans for larger frigates (such as MEKO or Type-054A) are also on the cards.
