Founded in 1999 and formerly known as Sigaw ng Bayan, Radyo Kapwa is an inclusive Filipino/a/x community and cultural radio show that celebrates the diversity and difference of people with roots to the Philippines. With three historical colonial invasions, multiple waves of migration worldwide, and over 7000 islands, we recognize and honour that Filipino/a/x/s are not a monolith. We provide a wide range of programming, music, and discussion topics to reflect this diversity.

Radyo Kapwa aims to share their platform with grassroots community organisers and organisations, as well as interviews with inspiring members of our community. Our framework is based on values rooted in decolonization, and restorative and transformative justice. Our mission is to create an anti-patriarchal, anti-racist, anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia, faith inclusive, non-ableist, trauma-informed space.

Happy International Women’s day!

Isn’t it just so fitting to our very own Lorra Caluya for today’s broadcasting?

Dear Lorra your ate, kuya, ate-kuya, kapwatids are so proud of you!

Not only that Lorra is one of the audio engineer of Radyo Kapwa, she is an artist, singer, songwriter, community leader and integral part of Centre Kapwa. We had a lot of fun recording for today’s broadcasting but also dig deeper of the intersections of being an artist, activist, queer. How is this all connected? Where and when did Lorra’s passion for art and music started? Tune in and get to know Lorra more!
