/KET-syap/

EN: ketchup
In the Philippines, when you say 'ketchup,' you gotta specify: tomato or banana? Banana ketchup is the default sawsawan for everything from fried chicken to tortang talong. It’s sweet, it’s red (thanks to food coloring), and it’s the lifeblood of every Pinoy kid's meal. Tomato ketchup is for the bougie folks or for french fries at fast-food chains.
From English 'ketchup', which itself has a complex origin possibly from Chinese 'kê-tsiap' or Malay 'kicap'.
The banana variant is often sweeter and is a staple in many Filipino households and restaurants. The spelling 'ketsap' is also common.
