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 Asian Heritage Month!

To start off this month, we are excited to put Jon Marvin Reyes on our platform. He is a community youth leader, our very own board member as secretary general and director of projects, man behind organising Kapwa Walk and the voice behind our weekly news from the Philippines.

Tune in to listen to Jon Marvin’s experiences as first generation FIlipino immigration who was uprooted during his teenage years, as queer, and as a community youth leader with an integral role in the heart of Centre Kapwa.
