What is a Hoisin sauce and where can I buy it?

I’ve searched a recipe which is Chinese Chicken Barbecue and it stated there that hoisin sauce. I want to know about it and what is the best substitute for it if ever I can’t find one here in the Philippines.

    Hoisin sauce is a chinese barbecue sauce used for grilling or even stir fry. Smoky taste and a good spice mixed in. Usually you can find it in the grocery stores in the Philippines. I’m from the Philippines, specifically Cebu, and I saw it in Rustans or Metro Gaisano in the sauce aisle.I don’t know what would be a good substitute for it since it has a really unique flavor and spice but if you want to try a recipe I have, its a mix of butter, catsup, sugar and curry power.Sweet on bbq (sticks) and even pork belly. I think you can even substitute chinese 5 spice powder fr the curry powder to probably have it close to hoisin

    Made from fermented soy beans, this reddish brown sauce is both sweet and spicy. It is almost always a combination of soybean paste, sugar, garlic and vinegar. The Chinese use Hoisin as a condiment and glaze for roasted meats, most commonly with Peking Duck. Ming uses it in marinades and grilled dishes. When adding to a dish, be sure to cook the hoisin in oil for a few minutes to rid it of the raw bean flavor.

    You can purchase it right at Walmart or your local grocery store near the chinese food products- like LaChoy, etc

    You can also make your own:
    1 tablespoon oil for stir-frying
    1 clove garlic, finely chopped
    1 teaspoon chopped ginger
    6 tablespoons hoisin sauce
    1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
    2 tablespoons water
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    a few drops sesame oil
    1 1/2 teaspoons chile paste, or to taste
    1 tablespoon chopped peanuts

    Heat the oil in a wok over medium-high to high heat. Add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry briefly until aromatic. Turn the heat down to medium and stir in the other ingredients. Heat through and remove from the stove. Cool & Store in Fridge
