History
Following a failed attempt in the United States to dub Dragon Ball into English by Harmony Gold, a company called Creative Products Corporation had produced an English dub of the first Dragon Ball Z story arc exclusively for the Philippines that aired on RPN 9. After the first story arc of DBZ finished airing, Creative Products went back and dubbed the original Dragon Ball anime in English in its entirety. In 1996 the company also dubbed the 5th and 6th Dragon Ball Z movies into a single compilation movie entitled Dragon Ball Z: The Greatest Rivals. This movie was released theatrically and received an extremely limited VHS release in the Philippines.[4] Following the release of The Greatest Rivals was a soundtrack CD and cassette titled Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z: Songs of a High Spirited Saga Volume 1 which contained the dubbed versions of songs from their dubs of the series. A second volume is said to exist, but there is currently no evidence. There is also a compilation of the 10th and 11th DBZ movies simply titled Dragon Ball Z: The Movie that was dubbed in English by Solar Entertainment and played theatrically in the Philippines in 1998. The film was later released on VHS and VCD. All of these English dubs are very obscure and were only aired once on Filipino television before being redubbed into Tagalog.
Availability
As of the writing of this article, only a handful of low-quality clips of the dub have surfaced. Due to the fact the series only aired once throughout its run, it is unlikely the entire series will emerge completed.
