i am from davao..the only problem you got that i could think off is the type of flour you been using? was it all purpose flour..or cake flour..did you add yeast on it..??
golden syrup i dont think so there is one on one of the mall there..in mcdonlad they have syrup for pancakes/hotcakes..if your in mall try to look in imported section not golden syrup
similar product you could find..but if in ph we normally go that we call it maple syrup
