The band performed at the 43rd Miss Universe pageant held at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City in May 1994. Later in November, they held their first major concert titled “Eraserheads Jamboree” at the Folk Arts Theater (now the Tanghalang Francisco Balagtas ) in Malate, Manila . They also released their second album Circus in the same month. It also became a commercial success, eventually turning quintuple platinum. Some of its tracks became classic hits for the band, such as “Kailan”, ” Minsan “, ” Magasin “, ” Alapaap ” and ” With a Smile “. “Alapaap” became controversial for its suggestive lyrics, which Senator Tito Sotto interpreted as promoting drug use. The band denied the allegation, stating that it was a misinterpretation and that the song was the band’s “ode to freedom”, not drug abuse.
