My response was the same - saging is banana (in Tagalog), I was told by an Ilocano speaker that saba refers to the banana plant, and merely means banana. Now, I'm not an expert, nor do I know any Ilocano, so I took my friend's word for it. When a speaker of Tagalog, Ilocano, and English says it is Dippig vice Saba, they know more than I do about it.
