Pan is a Filipino folk/punk rock band formed in 2002. The band was formed as a duo composed of former Yano bandmates Dong Abay on vocals and Onie Badiang on bass; the duo later added Duane Cruz and Melvin Leyson to play the bass and drums live.[1][2]

The band only released one album, Parnaso ng Payaso. The song "Hula" (transl. "Prediction") from that album won as Best Folk/Pop Recording at the 2003 Awit Awards.[3]

In early 2005, Abay left Pan to pursue an indie career, resulting in the band going inactive.[4]
