iPhone country locked?

I bought an unlocked iphone in UK, to test it i tried a couple of simcards from different carriers and worked fine. But then when i returned to my county(Philippines) i get below error:

The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.

The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

Question is, why is the phone working on UK carriers but not outside UK?
