This article discusses the development of a psychedelic music scene in the Philippines during the 1970s and onwards. Pioneering acts such as the Juan de la Cruz Band, Asin, and Sampaguita emulated the styles and themes of the psychedelic rock genre in Britain and the United States to produce songs that covertly referenced countercultural activities, particularly drug-taking and its effects, with the intention of cultural reorientation and a detachment from the country’s political turmoil. Due to its concealed status, this local psychedelic movement was unable to thrive, though it continued to influence music artists during the 1990s and onwards
