Pokémon USA and its UK counterpart merged to become The Pokémon Company International, which will handle all non-Asia Pokémon operations under the administration of Kenji Okubo. Australian operations are to still be under control of Nintendo Australia, which is headed by Managing Director, Rose Lappin.

(excerpts from The Pokemon Company article of Wikipedia)

As I'm come from the Philippines, I don't know who controlled the Pokemon licensing of this country. It is causing me a confusion due to the fact, Philippines is in Asia, the anime in this country is from dubbed English version of the US, has a official Filipino version of the anime series, and it has mixed toys of Japanese and English version in popular stores here.

If Pokemon Company of Japan has a jurisdiction here, why they didn't use their original or subbed version here? Something a loophole. All Pokemon games are complete here despite the anime is still Battle Frontier.

Or maybe the Pokemon Company International has rights here, despite a non-American or European territory. Or Nintendo Philippines, which it may control like in Australia.

The Philippines is a disputed area for Pokemon licensing. If these three controlled the Pokemon licensing of this country, it will be a big chaos.
 
Some strange to you, but I noticed here about the Pokemon movies premiered on the Philippines.

All movies are dubbed into Filipino version, using Japanese version of the movie, but some character name changes. The character name is brought from the US dub.

It is highly doubt that the Philippines has strange mixture of Pokemon animation distribution as posted the primary topic discussion above.
