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.

April 19, 2023: Ep. 38: Learning French in Quebec w/ Andrew Canete

We are back with our regular programing of highlighting kapwa from the diaspora. For this broadcasting, we are pleased to have Andrew Canete sharing his journey of decolonizing through etymology. Language is an art form and is presently practiced as well shaped by people who speak it. Our Homeland, The Philippines, has over 200 languages showcasing the story of the Land and the people who practice it. Andrew was born in Nova Scotia and carved his own Filipinx presentation in his hometown. His enthusiasm and positive outlook when it comes to language made learning French an enjoyable experience.
