Banana Ketchup is made in the Philippines from bananas, mashed, with sugar, vinegar, spices and red food coloring. It was said to have been invented during the Japanese Occupation of the country, 1942-45,[citation needed] when American-made condiments became virtually impossible to find. It began to be mass produced in the 1950s and achieved widespread use in the 1970s.[citation needed]
It is often used as dressing for Filipino fried chicken (not breaded) and mixed with local copies of Worcestershire sauce. Banana ketchup is also mixed with mayonnaise to be used as a salad dressing. It is also used as an ingredient in Filipino spaghetti, instead of spaghetti sauce. This spaghetti is unique in that it's normally sprinkled with grated cheddar cheese and diced hotdogs, vienna sausage, or in some cases, corned beef.
I suggest making your own. I have found a recipe for banana sauce. I do not know if it is the same as what you are looking for but I thought I'd share it with you anyway.

3 fluid ounces tomato paste
1 1/3 cups cider vinegar or malt vinegar
4 bananas, very large and extremely ripe and cut into chunks
3-4 cups water

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated if possible
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons dark rum
Combine the raisins, onions, garlic, tomato paste and 1/3 cup vinegar in the container of a food processor; process the mixture until smooth, and then transfer the mixture to a large, heavy saucepan.
Add the banana chunks and another 1/3 cup vinegar to the food processor container; process the mixture until smooth and then transfer the banana mixture to the saucepan.

Bring the mixture in the saucepan to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the ketchup, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1? hours.

Cook the ketchup over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes longer, or until it is thick enough to coat a metal spoon.
Stir in the rum.
Remove the ketchup from the heat and let it cool a few minutes.
Force the ketchup through a fine sieve to strain it, pressing down hard on the solids.
Remove the ketchup from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
