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.

For this broadcasting, we are honoured to support Waxapple Productions: Leila Roils The Seas a two-act play written by Lily Chang premiering at the Montreal St-Ambroise Fringe Festival from June 8th-18th. It is about a Taiwanese-Canadian woman must help her comatose grandmother's consciousness transcend to the celestial realm of Mahayana Buddhism, despite her nonbelief in the afterlife, her reluctance to lose her beloved grandmother, and her anger at her grandmother’s contradictions and history of violence.

Stay tuned to listen where, how the inspiration of the play from the writer, director, and producer Lily Chang. In the spirit of Kapwa, we are also happy hear Rae-Michelle playing Leila giving us insight of the expectations from the play.
