1) Sandwich was founded in 1998 by Raimund Marasigan and Diego Castillo for the purpose of fulfilling their mutual desire to work together. Castillo recruited former band mates (from The Aga Muhlach Experience) Mike Dizon (of The Teeth) to play drums and Myrene Academia to handle bass duties. Marasigan was a judge at a contest where Marc Abaya jammed to a Beastie Boys song with his band, Shirley Beans.

Although existing simultaneously with the Marasigan's foremost band at that time, Eraserheads, Sandwich provided a heavier, grittier sound, and built up their own fan base. Abaya was still in college at the time, and Marasigan would still tour occasionally with the Eraserheads, but these weren’t hindering factors for Sandwich, as there were many sessionists ready to take over in case of a member’s absence.

They signed with then-BMG Records, now known today as Sony-BMG Music, and released their debut album, Grip, Stand, Throw, with much success, thanks to its carrier single, "Butterfly Carnival."

The band won three awards at the 1999 NU 107 Rock Awards: Album of the Year, Best New Artist, and Song of the Year.

They released their second album, Four-Track Mind, in 2000; it was awarded Album of the Year at the Rock Awards in 2001.

Sandwich then parted ways with BMG Records and released their third album, Thanks To The Moon’s Gravitational Pull, in 2003. It was under distribution by EMI Records Philippines.

Abaya left Sandwich in 2005, in an effort to cope with the difficulty of juggling his job as an MTV VJ, and his obligations to his other band, Kjwan. Marasigan has since taken over sole vocal duties.

After Abaya’s departure, the band wrote songs for soundtracks, like "Humanda Ka," which was done for the online game, Tantra, and "Nginiig" for the ABS-CBN show of the same name.

Mong Alcaraz of Chicosci joined the band late 2005 to solidify Sandwich’s new sound and assume guitar duties Abaya left behind.

They released their latest album, Five On The Floor, in early 2006.

In late-October 2006, their songs "Sugod" and "DVDx" became available in the online music game O2Jam.

The video for "Sugod" won five major awards at the 2006 MTV Pilipinas Video Awards including Video of the Year, Best Director, and Best Editing.

Recently, Sandwich member Mong Alcaraz and Myrene Acamedia had won the best guitarist and best bassist in recent NU Rock Awards 2006 respectively.

2) Band hailing from Columbus, Ohio featuring members from bands as diverse as The Lindsay, Brainbow, The Fighting Weight, and The Tough and Lovely, and fronted by known estate-sale vinyl proprietor, Ron House. Randomly formed in 2007. on the occasion of Columbus' annual Rock Potluck.

Bakit Ang Babae
Sandwich Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Parang batang di mo mabitawan kahit na sandali
Kailangan may nag-aalalay sa kanya
Sa mga araw na ninanais lamang ay mag-isa
Nag-aalala siya kung nagsasawa ka na

Bakit ang babae sa tagal ng pagsasama
Tila mas mahirap maintindihan
Parang isang problema na

Sa una kayang-kaya ngunit
Humihirap na sa tagalan

Isang araw ikaw ang tinatanging ligaya sa buhay
Sandali lilipas 'di ka na kilala
'Di raw namimilit na makita ka sa araw-araw
Nagtatampo naman kapag 'di ka dumating

Bakit ang babae sa tagal ng pagsasama
Tila mas mahirap maintindihan
Parang isang problema na
Sa una kayang-kaya ngunit
Humihirap na sa tagalan

Adlib

Bakit ang babae sa tagal ng pagsasama
Tila mas mahirap maintindihan
Parang isang problema na
Sa una kayang-kaya ngunit
Humihirap na sa tagalan

Turururutututu… Turururutututu…

Overall Meaning

The song "Bakit Ang Babae" by Sandwich talks about the complexities of women in relationships. The first verse compares women to children who need constant attention and care. Women are portrayed as constantly worried about whether their partner still loves them or if they are growing tired of them. The chorus questions why women become harder to understand as time goes by, compared to being easy to love in the beginning. The second verse talks about how a woman can be the light in a man's life at one point, but can easily turn into a stranger if the relationship is not nurtured properly. Women are also perceived as being sensitive and easily hurt if their partner fails to show up or fulfill their promises.

The song highlights the emotional and mental strain that women go through in relationships, and how their perceived complexity can sometimes lead to misunderstandings and conflicts. Sandwich calls for more understanding and compassion towards women, asking listeners to appreciate the effort and care that women put into relationships.

Line by Line Meaning

Parang batang di mo mabitawan kahit na sandali
She can be clingy like a child that needs someone to hold on to even for just a moment

Kailangan may nag-aalalay sa kanya
She needs someone to look after her

Sa mga araw na ninanais lamang ay mag-isa
During days she only wants to be alone

Nag-aalala siya kung nagsasawa ka na
She worries if you're already fed up

Bakit ang babae sa tagal ng pagsasama
Why is it that a woman, after spending a long time together,

Tila mas mahirap maintindihan
Seems harder to understand

Parang isang problema na
Like a problem

Sa una kayang-kaya ngunit
At first, it's easy to deal with, but

Humihirap na sa tagalan
It becomes harder as time goes by

Isang araw ikaw ang tinatanging ligaya sa buhay
One day, you are the only joy in her life

Sandali lilipas 'di ka na kilala
Moments will pass and she may not recognize you anymore
