Bita and the Botflies is a Filipino rock band from Manila, Philippines, consisting of lead vocalist Sofy Aldeguer, guitarist Rebel Aldeguer, guitarist Kevin Novenario-Navea, bassist Rheymon Concepcion, and drummer Mark Lincallo. One of their songs that gained attention is "Sisikat Ka Iha" released on 2018.

Originally named Adobo Toothpaste, their name was later on changed to The Botflies (which are parasites that grow inside human flesh). Bita, Sofy’s childhood nickname, was added as an alliteration.

Bita and the Botflies sound “groovy, trippy, and kind of creepy; blues rock with poppy melodies,” as Sofy describes it herself. They take inspiration from local icons Up Dharma Down and IV of Spades. Personally, Sofy idolizes Amy Winehouse, Lorde, Laura Marling, and Alabama Shakes.
